Combination degrees allow UF undergraduate students who qualify academically to obtain both a bachelor’s and master’s degree.
Advantages of Combination Degrees
- Combination degrees allow students to double count graduate credits toward their bachelor’s degree at no loss of integrity or quality of either degree
- Qualified students can obtain an undergraduate and a graduate degree in much less time than two separate degrees
- The cost of both degrees is reduced, since at least 12 credits apply toward both degrees
- Students have time to decide whether to pursue further graduate or professional study
- A student’s marketability is greatly enhanced
