Academics

Accelerated dual-degree programs enable you to earn your undergraduate and graduate degrees in the most efficient and economical way possible. This approach to earning your degrees improves on traditional higher education models by focusing on rigorous, interdisciplinary and experiential learning.

Course overload fees are waived during the Fall and Spring semesters for students in accelerated dual-degree programs up to 19 credits per term (or up to 20 credits per term for up to two semesters for students engaging in a study abroad program). Summer and/or January term courses may be required to earn the accelerated graduate degree and are also offered at no cost to students in accelerated dual-degree programs.**
*This only applies to the one graduate program associated with your chosen dual-degree.
**Not to exceed a seven-credit limit per Summer (Summer 1 and Summer 2 combined) or a three-credit limit per January term in which you enroll in courses.

U.S. News & World Report names Quinnipiac among the best national universities in the nation.
The Princeton Review ranks Quinnipiac among the top 388 colleges in the country.
Forbes recognizes Quinnipiac as one of America's Top Colleges.
Jacqueline Waite ’17, MBA ’18, said that her program’s additional workload helped her develop time-management skills. She also credits her individual courses with connecting her work inside the classroom to real-world scenarios. “In my capstone class, we are building a functioning database and website for a real client,” Waite explained. “Mentioning the different projects I’ve worked on to recruiters has helped me land two internships with Fidelity Investments in Boston.”
“The thing that I like most about this program is that it is a way for me as a student coming out of college to stand out to employers. I believe that coming out of college in four years with a master’s degree will help to show my future employer that I am dedicated and hard working.”
“Quinnipiac not only gave me the psychomotor skills to work in a chaotic environment, but also provided me with the confidence, professionalism and critical thinking tools to succeed,” said Seth Pachman ’16, DPT ’20. He worked on the medical team at the finish line of the New York City Marathon.
“I chose Quinnipiac due to its outstanding reputation in the medical field. Quinnipiac showed me how hard work and dedication are essential to successfully entering the ‘real world.’ Being able to find a great college and my dream job just 10 miles away from my hometown means everything to me.
