If you are at a crossroads as you try to choose between two graduate programs, why not consider a dual master\u2019s degree? Universities that offer them curate and structure courses to make the most of your time and return on investment. You’d gain the knowledge and skills that will best position you in the job market, and both graduate programs would be prominently displayed on your degree.<\/p>\n

Of course, you have the option to enroll in a M.A. or M.S. degree concentrating on a specific area. But more often, those programs offer only introductory courses that may not provide you with the most comprehensive or marketable foundation. With an interdisciplinary dual degree, however, you\u2019ll be ready for career advancement that can be successfully applied and monetized in the workplace.<\/p>\n

Why a dual master\u2019s degree? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dual degrees such as a master\u2019s in Business Administration and Cybersecurity<\/a> \u201ccan be powerful differentiators in the marketplace,\u201d says James Ryerson<\/a>, Director of Marymount University’s School of Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MBA offers the breadth of understanding in all aspects of business, while the cyber degree offers a depth of experience in one of today\u2019s most in-demand fields,\u201d he explained. \u201cAs businesses become more technology-driven, these degrees give you the expertise at the intersection of business and technology, two of today\u2019s hottest job markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other dual degrees, like Forensic & Legal Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling<\/a>, combine courses such as Psychology of Criminal Behavior (FLP 531) with Group Counseling Techniques (CE 523). With a master\u2019s degree in Cybersecurity and Information Technology<\/a>, your coursework partners Computer Network Defense (IT 670) with Enterprise Data Management and Analysis (IT 540).<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t I just enroll in two master’s programs? <\/strong><\/p>\n

You could, but dual degree programs like those at Marymount University offer an interdisciplinary approach. It is a \u2018cross-pollination,\u2019 if you will, of knowledge and skills from different \u2014 yet highly correlated \u2014 fields. Graduates can easily move between fields such as information technology and cybersecurity, business and information technology or counseling and forensic and legal psychology.<\/p>\n

How long will it take? How much will it cost? <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a variety of time periods and paths for earning a dual master’s degree. At Marymount, most can be completed in 54-57 credit hours, and MBA coursework is offered online. It’s possible to earn a dual degree in two graduate areas without doubling the cost of graduate school. Marymount’s Office of Graduate Admissions<\/a> can help with that.<\/p>\n
