Dual Degrees for Current Students

Current Brandeis International Business School students may apply to switch to a dual degree program in one of the following semesters:

  1. First semester of their first program, prior to the last day to add classes
  2. Second semester of their first program, to switch to the dual degree in their third semester
  3. Final semester of their first program, to switch to the dual degree program in lieu of graduating

How tuition is charged for the dual degree programs will vary based on when a current student switches to the dual degree program, but the total cost paid for the program will be equal to the total number of credits required for the dual degree (67-96 credits) at the per credit rate for the academic year(s).
