Dual Degree

Earn 2 Degrees

Gonzaga offers you the option of pursuing both your Master’s in Organizational Leadership (ORGL) and your Master’s in Communication and Leadership (COML).

Our dual degree pathway is for anyone who wants to gain more expertise in both leadership and communication while saving time and money.

Requirements

  • Apply and be accepted to both programs.
  • You must enroll in one program first and then you can enroll in the other program in a following semester, e.g. ORGL in Fall, COML in Spring, ORGL in Summer, COML in Fall, etc.
  • You must apply for graduation from both ORGL and COML at the same time as both degrees must have the same degree granting date.
