Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Business Administration Dual-Degree
Dual-degree students must apply to and meet the admission requirements of the respective program, and be accepted to each in order to pursue both degrees. Also, when academic policies and standards differ between the two schools, the policies and standards of the appropriate school apply to the respective portion of the dual-degree. Candidates for the dual-degree must complete the requirements for both degrees prior to graduation.
Should a student choose not to pursue one of the degrees to completion, he or she will be responsible for paying any difference in the per-course rate(s) actually charged based on pursuing the dual-degree and the rate(s) which would have been charged for courses applied toward the selected degree. The student will also be responsible for repaying any scholarships or grants received based on pursuing a dual-degree for which the student would not have been eligible based on the selected degree. Additional financial obligations must be satisfied before the student can be awarded the selected degree. In no case will the University refund money when a student opts out of a dual-degree program.
