Dual programs

Students enrolling in a dual program study for two degrees at the same time. Generally once they fulfil the requirements of the two programs, they graduate with both.

By enrolling in a dual program, a student completes two degrees in a much shorter time than it would take if they completed one degree and then studied for the second degree.

A dual program gives students the flexibility to study several areas of interest at once and to broaden career possibilities beyond graduation. Graduates with two degrees have a competitive edge in the workplace because of the additional knowledge and skills they have acquired.

Students wishing to undertake a dual program should be aware of the additional steps when applying and enrolling. Information is available from faculty offices.

Here are some examples of dual programs:

Arts / Laws
Commerce / Laws
Engineering / Economics
Environmental Management (Sustainable Development) / Laws
Music / Education
Science / Arts

Please note: The Bachelor of Education (Secondary)  is only available as part of a dual program.
