This dual-degree program equips students with the knowledge and skills they need to cover, write and report on environmental policies, trends and issues. By earning both an undergraduate and graduate degree in just five years, you'll save time while expanding your skillset and increasing your value to prospective employers. Students should apply to the dual-degree program through the School of Communications by the end of their second year, if they wish to pursue graduate studies in Journalism at Quinnipiac. If accepted, students can take up to 6 credits of graduate courses during their senior year beginning in the fall semester with the permission of the graduate program director. Those credits can be applied to both undergraduate and graduate programs.

Students in this program must complete all the requirements of the BA in Sustainability and Environmental Policy and the MS in Journalism. The following table is a representative progression through those requirements. Students should work with their advisers on a plan that ensures their academic progression.
