Dual Degree

Earn 2 Degrees

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

Our dual degree pathway is for anyone who wants to gain more expertise in both communication and leadership 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. COML in Fall, ORGL in Spring, COML in Summer, ORGL in Fall, etc.
  • You must apply for graduation from both COML and ORGL at the same time as both degrees must have the same degree granting date.
