Bachelor's-Master's Dual Programs

When you know that a career in public service is calling you, why wait? NYU Wagner’s combined bachelor’s and master’s degree programs will put you on the fast track, allowing you to complete your undergraduate and graduate degrees in five years instead of the traditional six. That means less time (and less money) lies between you and an impactful, kick-started career in public service.

In this accelerated program, you can complete up to 7 of your required 15 graduate degree courses as an undergraduate student. Start by applying to a dual-degree Master of Public Administration or Master of Urban Planning program in undergrad. Once admitted, you’ll get immediate access to all of NYU Wagner's graduate-level courses, events, and career opportunities. All you have to do is earn a B or better in each of your graduate courses and the credits will count toward your graduate degree. You can even defer admission to your master’s program for up to two years to pursue critical professional experience in the field before taking your next steps with us.
