The dual Master's degree option allows students to enroll in and complete two degree programs concurrently, sharing a maximum of nine credits between the two programs. Applicants interested in applying for dual degrees must submit separate applications to each of the two programs, entry requirements for both graduate programs must be met and both programs must be started during the same semester (except for Law). Consider, also, that while LIS accepts new students in Fall and Spring semesters, other programs may only accept new students in the Fall.Primary Degree: Hawaiian Language): Of the 33 credits required for this MA degree, the Library & Information Science Program accepts 9 credits at the 600 level. Thus only 30 LIS credits for the MLISc are needed instead of 39, for a total of 63 credits for both degrees.
