Guide to Pursuing Concurrent Degrees
ASU offers many academic options for students seeking to enhance their education. The following
are suggestions to help students explore all possibilities:
1) Student Self-Reflection
• Identify short-term and longer-term personal and career objectives and goals
Things to Consider:
• Add a concurrent degree (bachelor’s degree), minor, certificate program, to expand skills and
knowledge
• Depending on the combination, may result in cost savings if you can double-count credits
• Am I better off earning one bachelor’s degree and gaining some work experience in field of
choice?
o Technical expertise from a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science &
construction is valued
o Learn from being in the profession the skills needed to advance, become successful
o Some companies pay for continued/advanced education and provide formal training
• Should I consider a Post-baccalaureate degree? A Post-baccalaureate degree (another
bachelor’s degree) is not done concurrently with the first degree, but pursued after earning a
bachelor’s degree.
• 4+1 accelerated program for students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in engineering or
construction, and has an interest in an advanced degree in same field. Eligible students can
complete a bachelor’s and master’s degree (in the same field) in 5 years.
o Cost savings when share and reserve graduate-level credits with 4+1 accelerated program
o For entry-level positions, some companies pay a higher starting salary to new hires with
an advanced degree than with a Bachelor’s degree
• Am I better off doing a graduate degree in a different field?
• Enroll in college-level classes (not degree program) for personal interest/professional
enrichment
2) Gathering Information to Make a Good Decision
• Meet with Academic Advisor in programs of interest to learn about all educational options
• Seek expertise of Career Coach http://engineering.asu.edu/career/student to explore
educational and career options
• Attend Career Fair and speak with company representatives about part-time and permanent
employment opportunities
• Speak with other trusted sources, e.g., faculty, parents, friends who are working professionals
Online resources to help further explore:
o Bureau of Labor Statistics, http://www.bls.gov/
o Occupational Outlook Handbook, http://www.bls.gov/oco/
2) Students Should Consider the Following When Pursuing Concurrent Degrees
• One degree conferral date, which occurs when all degree requirements are satisfied for each
undergraduate degree program (i.e., students receive both degrees at the same time regardless
if coursework for one degree is completed prior to the other degree)
• Admission criteria, policy for double-counting credits, and other requirements and rules are
defined by the School/College offering the degree program
• Financial Aid and/or scholarship(s) limits apply and may not cover all semesters
• May need to invest more time and hence, more funds, to complete concurrent degrees
3) Filing a College Standards Petition Form Once Decision is Made to Pursue Concurrent Degrees
• Student needs to meet with both program advisors to learn about degree and graduation
requirements, and the eligibility requirements for filing a petition. Both advisors should review
graduation plan that outlines courses student will take each semester.
• Student must file a Standards petition form with each respective School/College offering the
degree program to request pursuit of concurrent degrees,
o To find petition form online, http://students.asu.edu/node/1834
o See program academic advisor to obtain petition form if not found online in above link
Petition approvals result in the posting of concurrent degree in PeopleSoft. If the student later decides
to ‘drop’ one of the degrees, the student should inform Registrar’s Office, Graduation Office (SSV 140) if
no longer interested in pursuing concurrent degrees.
