<p>I've noticed that several departments offer a BA/MA to a few students. Is this common, and does it normally take more than 4 years?</p>
<p>what department are you looking at? there are some departments that make it much easier than others...</p>
<p>Biology, which I know offers a BS/MS, and Classics or Archaeology or NELC, which I'm not sure about.</p>
<p>okay... hm. well, you can find very specific info about the biology BS/MS on page 23 of this document:

<p>I can't find you any info about Classics, Archaeology, or NELC, but I'd advise that if you want to know whether these dept's offer a BA/MA, you should email the heads of the departments directly. They're usually very helpful, and they don't bite (or at least, most of them don't :p)</p>
<p>Good luck finding the info you're looking for!</p>
