Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s Degrees
Save time and money by working on two degrees simultaneously. These combined bachelor’s/master’s degree pathways are for highly qualified, current undergraduate students who wish to continue to a master’s degree. The School for Graduate Studies currently offers a dual degree program and combined pathways to Empire State University's undergraduate students, as well as combined pathways to undergraduate students from SUNY Canton, SUNY Cobleskill, and SUNY Morrisville.
Students accepted into a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree pathway will be able to take specified master’s level courses during their bachelor’s degree at the undergraduate rate and have them count towards their degree. These pathways may accelerate a student’s time to degree completion and reduce the cost of completing the master’s degree.
