Want to save time and money while boosting your credentials? UB’s combined degree programs let you earn both your bachelor’s and graduate degree—often in less time than completing them separately. It’s a great way to accelerate your goals without sacrificing academic depth.
These programs combine a College of Arts and Sciences undergraduate major with a master’s degree—no hopping between schools.
Some combined degrees pair College of Arts and Sciences majors with graduate programs from other UB schools.
