Thank you for your interest, we are eager to assist you with your dual degree strategies.

A few advantages in regards to the dual degree option:

• It costs nothing to sign up for the option.
• You do not have to complete both degrees at the same time - you can graduate with one masters and then start the second one.
• You have 3 full years from completion of the first degree to complete the second degree.
• Should you later decide to forego the second degree, there is no penalty associated with this change in strategy.
• Most importantly, a dual master's strategy will often give you a competitive edge in the job market!

Attached is the form used to request the dual degree option. On #4, check off the box marked Request to Change to Dual Degree Program. On the line labeled "Current Program", list your current master's program (e.g. MBA), on the line labeled "Proposed New Program", list both your current program and the second master's program you wish to pursue (e.g. MBA/MS-INSY). You'll need to submit the form to the Graduate School in Davis Hall - the fax number is 817-272-2627. If you wish to confirm receipt of the fax, their phone number is 817-272-2681.

Once we receive your application worksheet from the Graduate School, we will work to create your proposed dual degree template. We will forward your template for your review and approval and from there it will go to the respective program advisors for their review and recommendation. I am also attaching the generic template for your review.

** Keep in mind that your dual degree request must be fully processed before completing more than 24 hours of advanced coursework. Further, the sooner you develop your dual degree strategy, the greater the potential for maximizing your total course savings.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything further.
