Current Quinnipiac students may express interest in the dual-degree program at any time during their undergraduate studies through the fall of their senior year by submitting the Intent to Continue form. Those interested in this program should contact the appropriate program chair about application requirements for their specified graduate program.
Admission into the dual-degree program is competitive. Students must present satisfactory performance in their graduate coursework completed during their senior year to be officially admitted into the graduate program upon completion of their BA or BS degree. Only students who have earned at least 75 credits with an overall GPA of 3.0 are considered. Meeting the minimum criteria for consideration does not guarantee admission.
All applicants to dual-degree 4+1 programs within the School of Computing and Engineering must submit the following materials:
A one-page personal statement that explains your decision to pursue graduate education
A current resume
Two letters of recommendation, with at least 1 coming from a professor in your major
Certain programs may require additional materials and students should connect with the program chair and their academic adviser to express interest in the dual-degree pathway of their choosing.
