It is also possible to pursue both a master’s degree and a doctorate simultaneously. Here is a list of graduate programs that offer dual masters and doctorate programs. Some benefits to this type of program include:

1. A shorter time in school overall

If you elect to do a dual degree program, the program will be condensed. Rather than spending time doing both degrees separately, you will have the opportunity to do them both on a tighter timeline. This can be a great opportunity if both degrees are relevant to your career. If you don’t foresee both degrees as helpful, a dual degree can tack on extra time in order to make room for both types of degrees. 

2. Participating in coursework that is credited to both degrees

A dual degree program will give you the opportunity to participate in coursework that is relevant and credited to both degrees. You will have the opportunity to see how the different degrees overlap in a way that is relevant to your use of the degrees postgraduate school.

3. Less tuition than if you did each program separately. 

A dual degree program combines the degrees into a singular program meaning that you’re paying a singular tuition rather than multiple tuition.
