About the Dual Degree Program
The mission of the Dual Degree Program (DDP) is to create a seamless pathway for transfer students by providing academic, financial, and social support throughout the associate and bachelor’s degree experiences, ensuring students maintain progress, minimize debt, and successfully graduate with their “dual” degrees.
