Dual Degree Applicants
Dual degree applicants must be sure to apply and meet the requirements for both departments. The process differs depending on whether you are an outside applicant or if you are currently enrolled at the University of Michigan.
Outside Applicants
All applicants who are not currently enrolled at the University of Michigan must complete the full application process for each department. Please review the requirements on our Checklist for All Applicants as well as the requirements on the other department's websites.
Also, please indicate on your Ford School application the other departments to which you are applying.
Current University of Michigan Students
Currently enrolled students at the University of Michigan are eligible to apply for dual degrees at the Ford School. Our 14 dual degree programs are listed here: http://fordschool.umich.edu/curriculum/dual.php
The application process differs, however, depending on whether the student is enrolled in a Rackham administered program. Please review the list below to determine whether the program you are currently enrolled is a program administered by Rackham: http://www.rackham.umich.edu/Programs/dual.html
