Dual

Dual Degrees—programs that confer two degrees in a shortened time through either a credit sharing arrangement or purposefully blended curriculum—are subject to NYSED oversight. Most Dual Degree programs no longer require independent NYSED registration. Please follow the steps below to determine what approvals your dual degree might need.

Dual Degree Review & Approval Process

This step is required for all dual degree programs. Each submitting school will provide OAPRA:

• Curriculum Outline for Each Individual Degree Program (If Applicable)
• Proposed Curriculum Outline for the Dual-Degree Program
• New Integrated Assessment Plan for the Dual Degree, or the Existing Assessment Plans for Each Program Associated with the Dual Degree
• Non-NYS Authorization Form
• Letter from School(s) Dean’s Office(s) Approving Degree Arrangement
  

When NYSED Registration is not Required

NYSED registration is not required for a dual degree program created from two existing NYU programs when the curriculum design requires the completion of all registered program requirements for each standalone program.

When NYSED Registration is Required

Once you've obtained all required internal NYU and external NYSED program approval, OAPRA will:

1. Submit approved proposed curriculum outline to the registrar;
2. Notify relevant NYU stakeholders of the creation of a new dual-degree arrangement;
3. Create and update OAPRA records and databases.
