Dual Degree Masters Program

Earn 2 degrees in just 2 years.

Develop your innovation, leadership and management skills and build your technical depth with the School of Engineering's dual degree master's program. You’ll earn two degrees - an MS offered by Tufts Gordon Institute (on-campus Engineering Management, Innovation and Management, or Technology Management & Leadership) and an MS offered by one of the six academic departments within the School of Engineering. And, you earn both degrees in an accelerated timeframe and at a reduced cost.

MS in Innovation & Management and MS in Biomedical Engineering student Jazmine Richardson recently spoke with TuftsNow to discuss her desire to address health inequities and become a 'transformative leader with heart', and why the Dual Degree Program was the perfect way to do this. 

"As I envisioned my career, I knew that the scientific perspective would continue to be important...and learning how to include people whose experiences are often overlooked 'would better position me when it comes to providing care for my future patients'" - Jazmine Richardson

Dual Degree Program Highlights

Fast time to completion: You earn two master’s degrees in just two years. 

Reduced course load & tuition: You can double count four courses toward both degrees, thereby reducing the total number of credits and the tuition cost required to earn both credentials. 

Streamlined admissions: Select the dual degree program option on our online application and the application process is simplified. You only need to apply once, and both admissions teams will review your application materials. This means you only submit your college transcripts, resume and standardized test scores once... And, best of all, you only pay one application fee.
