<p>is there a difference between the two or are they synonymous?</p>
<p>which can they be?</p>
<p>undergrad-undergrad
undergrad-grad
grad-grad</p>
<p>A dual degree would be two degrees at the same level (e.g. MIT awards two individual bachelor’s of science degrees to students who complete two undergraduate majors), while a joint degree would be something like a bachelor’s degree awarded concurrently with a master’s degree.</p>
<p>it could be different @ mit but after doing a little google searching it seems like the following holds true:</p>
<p>dual degrees: undergrad-grad (ie. BA/MBA, BS/MBA, BS/MD, BA/JD, etc)</p>
<p>joint degrees: undergrad-undergrad (ie. BA/BS, BA/BBA)
OR
grad-grad (ie. JD/MBA, JD/MD, JD/masters, JD/PhD, MD/Phd, MD/MBA, etc)</p>
<p>you think this is correct?</p>
