Dual Degree Programs
Dual degree programs permit a student to begin graduate-level study in marketing communications, engineering, and optometry before graduating from Wheaton. A student will take one to three additional years to earn a second degree in one of these fields; the Wheaton A.B. is normally awarded at the same time as the second degree.
Dual-degree programs exist with the following institutions:
- Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth College (B.S. Engineering)
- Emerson College (M.A. Integrated Marketing Communication)
- New England School of Optometry (Doctor of Optometry)
