Two Degrees. One Seamless Experience.

With the largest selection of combined programs in New Jersey and dozens of disciplines to explore, Montclair State University is where your elevated tomorrow begins. Pursue a Combined Program and fast-track your education, earning both degrees in one streamlined experience.

What is a combined program?

Combined degrees allow students to count graduate credits toward their bachelor’s degree and their graduate degree which allows for the completion of both degrees in less time. A combined degree program allows students to complete “swing-credits” (6-12 depending on the program) while enrolled as an undergraduate, which count for both their bachelor and master’s degrees.

There are some very compelling benefits that come with studying through a combined program and we encourage you to learn more and talk with your advisor to see if you are on track to be considered for a Combined program.

Why pursue a combined degree?

  • Graduate early | Take graduate courses during your senior year that will count towards both your Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees
  • Significant tuition savings | On average, students save as much as $7,000 in pursuing a combined degree
  • No Standardized Test Scores are required for admission to your graduate program | No need to worry about the GRE or GMAT
  • Apply to Graduate School for free | No application fee required when applying to a combined program
