Dual degree programs (sometimes called joint degrees) allow a student to earn two degrees in separate fields and/or from two different institutions simultaneously, usually by taking fewer hours than would be required for separate majors in the two fields.  This is not the same thing as a double major or a second degree. The University of Houston does not offer dual degrees at the undergraduate level.

For information on dual degrees at the graduate level, contact the college or school and see the Graduate Catalog Online.
