Dual-Degree Program

Students enrolled in the Camden College of Arts and Sciences or in University College-Camden may apply during their junior year to enter the dual-degree bachelor of arts/master of arts (B.A./M.A.) program. This program enables students with strong academic credentials to begin graduate work while still undergraduates, thus speeding the completion of the master's degree. Camden undergraduates who intend to pursue a master's degree in psychology in the Rutgers Graduate School-Camden must be approved for entry into this dual-degree program by the director of graduate studies in psychology. If accepted, they may take one graduate course in each semester of their senior year. These two courses are charged at the undergraduate tuition rate, but are double-counted toward both the B.A. and the M.A. degree requirements. As seniors, students must apply to the Graduate School-Camden in regular fashion, and be formally admitted and matriculated. They then go on to complete the remainder of their credits as master's-level students.
