The History of Science Department and the School of Library and Information Studies offer a dual degree program for their two fields.
Students apply and are accepted by each department.
Dual-degree students work with a joint advising committee made up of members of both units. They take the comprehensive master's degree examination in each department and meet the requirements for the master's degree in each department. The total course-load requirement is 18 courses or 54 credit hours, including a minimum of 27 credit hours in each department. Students may choose to write a thesis in the History of Science if they wish.
