DUAL ADMISSION INTO ONE OF OUR M.S./M.A. PROGRAMS
The Dual Admission program represents collaboration between undergraduate programs and
graduate programs at NSU. All of the master level programs in SHSS participate in the Dual
Admission program. This means that a well-qualified student accepted into an NSU undergraduate
program may seek to have their eligibility determined for Dual Admission into one of our M.S./M.A.
programs. If all qualifications and requirements are met and continue to be met throughout their
undergraduate studies, a seat in the graduate program would be reserved for that undergraduate
student upon their graduation. Dual Admission students are in contact with the graduate program
throughout their undergraduate studies and may be invited to certain graduate events. For more
information about Dual Admission, please see:
