Joint/Dual Degrees
GSE encourages students to take advantage of the intellectual resources of the whole university. Students must meet the requirements of their degree programs, and this necessarily limits the number of courses students have available to take in other schools. Within these limits, however, students are free to enroll in courses across the university. Doctoral students should obtain permission from the relevant Division Chair if they plan to take more than five courses outside GSE.
Such permission is routinely given for students who pursue joint or dual degrees. GSE has many arrangements with other schools, through which students can earn one degree in two fields at once (a joint degree) or two degrees in two fields, concurrently (a dual degree). Students interested in joint or dual degrees should speak with their advisor, Division Chair, Division Coordinator or the office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs well in advance of any planned joint or dual degree work. It is sometimes possible to negotiate an individualized joint or dual degree program on an ad hoc basis. Interested students should complete the Individualized Joint or Dual Degree, Plan of Study form and submit it to the GSE Division Coordinator. Also, more information about GSE's interdisciplinary courses can be found here.
Penn Schools and Programs
School of Arts and Sciences
Masters students may take courses at GSE and SAS to earn the Master of Science in Education (M.S.Ed.) degree and certification to teach at the secondary school level as well as a Master of Arts (M.A.) or the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in an academic discipline. Students may pursue the dual degree in GSE and the following programs in SAS:
| Anthropology | History of Art | | Demography | English | | History | Classical and Ancient History | | Asian and Middle Eastern Studies | German | | Chemical Education | Physics | | Linguistics | Environmental Science |
Doctoral students may pursue a joint Ph.D. in education and one of the disciplines. GSE students have completed such degrees jointly with Anthropology, History and Sociology, and it is possible to do this with other SAS graduate groups as well. Alternatively, doctoral students may earn an M.A. in one of these disciplines on their way to a Ph.D. in education.
