Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s

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 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.
