Fast Fact
The School of Communication enrolls over 100 graduate students in nine degree programs, drawing on core faculty from five academic units at University of Denver

Flexible Dual Degree Programs

Graduate Students at DU are also encouraged to explore diverse interests by combining any two graduate programs into a "flexible dual degree" program. This allows students to structure creative curriculum programs in the pursuit of specialized career objectives. Dual degree programs allow a limited number of credits from each degree to count towards the other degree.

Students may propose any dual degree program that seems reasonable to them and their advisors for academic and career objectives. Dual degree programs are only allowed when they result in two master's degrees or a master's degree and a J.D. degree. The student's program proposal will preserve the core courses in each program and allow course reduction only in elective courses. No program will ever allow more than a 15 credit-hour reduction in each program.

Within the School of Communication, graduate students have completed the following dual degrees:

M.A. in Human Communication / Masters in Social Work
M.A. in Mass Communications / J.D.
M.A. in International and Intercultural Communication / J.D.
