Why Pursue Concurrent Degrees?
Many graduates find that holding two master鈥檚 degrees from Duke (or from Duke and a partner institution) increases their marketability, expands their career flexibility and allows them to pursue highly rewarding areas of professional specialization much sooner than if they held just one master鈥檚 degree.
I recommend fully leaning into each program 鈥 investing in relationships, coursework, leadership opportunities outside of class, and other learning opportunities that pique your interest. One of the benefits of the concurrent degree program is the extended amount of time you have to dedicate to your academic and professional development, so take advantage of that time by exploring and challenging yourself across topics and disciplines."
-Megan Ferryman, MEM/MBA student
Concurrent Degree Options
WHY A CONCURRENT MEM/MF DEGREE?
糖心传媒s interested in forests and forestry can deepen their training through the concurrent Master of Environment Management (MEM) and Master of Forestry (MF). The educational program leading to the Master of Forestry degree is accredited by the , the largest professional forestry organization in the United States.
The MF can be paired with all areas of study within the MEM, and with careful planning of their curriculum, students can earn both the MEM and MF degrees in as few as five semesters.
At the application stage, students may choose to apply to either degree program, or to the concurrent MEM/MF. 糖心传媒s who apply and are admitted to only the MEM or the MF may add the other degree after enrolling, and typically do so before the end of their first semester at the Nicholas School. Determination of eligibility for the degrees will be made on an individual basis and will consider the educational background and objectives of the student.
"I chose Duke specifically because of the concurrent MEM/MF program: the opportunity to develop hands-on techniques in the MF combined with the chance to learn the background for informed management in the MEM is something that immediately captivated me. These two degrees allow me to explore the full scope of my environmental interests and allow me to take advantage of Duke's research and learning forest."

Requirements
- The student must qualify for either the MEM or MF degree by earning 48 units of credit.
- For the second degree, the student must complete an additional 24 units of study that, in combination with courses taken for the first degree, meet the substance of the requirements for the second degree.
- Two additional semesters in residence are normally required, although, with careful planning, the student may be able to complete both professional degrees in a total of five semesters.
- All MF students complete a capstone course. For dual degree MEM/MF students, this capstone also satisfies the MEM Master鈥檚 Project or Course-Based Pathway Requirement. 糖心传媒s may elect to write an MP that includes subject matter suitable to forestry and/or their MEM
concentrations, but it is not required.
Advising
To facilitate course planning, you will have a coursework advisor for each degree (but just one MP advisor). In Stellic, you can designate 48 credits for the primary degree and 24 credits for the secondary degree. To show where you are using courses taken for credit under the primary degree to meet requirements of the secondary degree, submit a request for an exception in Stellic (to indicate that the substance of the course meets the program requirements, but the credits do not count toward the 24 for the second degree).
Capstone & Seminar
Master of Forestry students are required to complete the MF Capstone Project. They can propose an MP as an additional capstone activity. If they elect this option, then their MP must comply with the MF MP guidelines. Concurrent-degree MEM/MF students who complete the MF Capstone Project are not required to complete an MP for their MEM degree. If such students elect to complete an MP in addition to completing the MF Capstone Project, then their MP will be administered by their MEM program and need not comply with the MF program鈥檚 MP guidelines.
Forestry students will take the Seminar course every semester. Even though students will have registered for this course in multiple semesters, only one credit will count toward the degree at graduation. Seminar activities include group course advising, professional development activities, two required Ethics sessions, one required Land Tenure session, and MP practice presentations.

Why a Concurrent MEM/MBA or MF/MBA Degree?
Duke's concurrent offerings are two of the most prestigious business and environment degree programs in the world, and are supported by resources at the Nicholas School of the Environment, Fuqua School of Business, and Duke's Center for Energy, Development, and the Global Environment (EDGE). 糖心传媒s also have the option of concurrently completing an MEM/MBA or MF/MBA with .
Duke's MEM/MBA and MF/MBA programs are highly customizable, allowing students the opportunity to draw on world-class resources across the entire Duke campus, including not only the Nicholas School and Fuqua, but also interdisciplinary resources like the .
Concurrent degree students are fully immersed at both the Nicholas School and Fuqua during their time at Duke鈥攚hen they graduate, they feel equally at home among CEOs and financial analysts as they are among scientists and policymakers. You鈥檒l find MEM/MBA alums is leadership roles at organizations such as Tesla, Nike (Sustainable Business & Innovation group), GE Energy Ventures, Vestas, Pacific Gas & Electric, Amazon (sustainability department), and ClearPath Foundation.
"I chose the MEM/MBA program to combine my passion for environmental stewardship with strategic business expertise. This dual degree gives me the tools to drive innovative, community-focused solutions for environmental and social challenges."

"I came from a business background with a long-term focus on investing and green business development. But as a generalist, I lacked deep expertise in any specific sector. When I discovered my passion for sustainable land management, I decided to build that domain knowledge intentionally. The MF program at Duke stood out to me because the program is accredited and the curriculum is designed to give students a robust foundation in forest ecosystem management. "

Requirements
- At least 36 units of credit within the Nicholas School are required to receive the Master of Environmental Management (MEM) or 39 units of credits for the Master of Forestry (MF) degree.
- MEM/MBA students are not required to complete a Master鈥檚 Project or Course-Based Pathway to fulfill NSOE degree requirements, as the concurrent degree provides significant depth of study and professional skill development that meet those learning objectives. MF/MBA students will still be required to complete the Forestry Capstone. All students still wishing to pursue a Master鈥檚 Project may do so. Please contact your master's program chair or academic advisor with further questions.
MEM/MBA or MF/MBA candidates must apply to and be accepted by both the Nicholas School of the Environment and the Fuqua School of Business. 糖心传媒s electing to pursue the MEM or MF concurrently with the MBA must complete requirements for both degrees before either degree will be awarded. Given the academic demands of these degrees, those entering without the necessary analytical skills or life science background may be required to take additional work beyond that specified.
Degree Program Sequencing
There is room for some flexibility in sequencing a concurrent degree program, but there are some usual patterns for each concurrent degree combination. If you are beginning your studies in the business school, rather than in the Nicholas School, be sure to come to the Nicholas School early in your first semester to meet with your advising network. They will help you coordinate course selection for the two programs.
- Concurrent degree MEM/MBA or MF/MBA students usually begin with one full year at the Nicholas School, then a full year at Fuqua; this tends to complement Fuqua鈥檚 summer internships program (and, for those going to Kenan-Flagler at UNC, allows them to establish NC residency for tuition purposes), but it is possible to begin with a year in either school.
- In the third year, students combine Nicholas School and Fuqua courses. 糖心传媒s pursuing the MEM/MBA or MF/MBA at Kenan-Flagler will split their enrollment in year three 鈥 one semester at NSOE and one semester at UNC.
Additional Considerations
- Since Fuqua courses are usually offered M/Th or Tu/F (as well as in different time blocks from the rest of Duke), students taking classes in both Fuqua and the Nicholas School in the same semester might experience scheduling conflicts. It is important to consider Fuqua鈥檚 terms each semester when scheduling Nicholas School courses in order to avoid such conflicts.
- MEM/MBA or MF/MBA students in Nicholas School program concentrations that specifically require statistics may fulfill the requirement by taking Applied Statistical Modeling for Environmental Management (ENVIRON 710), or by counting the content (but not the credit) of Statistical Forecasting (DECISION 614) at Fuqua. 糖心传媒s in other Nicholas School concentrations have a broader selection of courses to meet this quantitative/tool requirement.

Why a Concurrent MEM/MPP or MF/MPP Degree?
As issues concerning natural resources and the environment become increasingly significant, a corresponding need has developed for well-trained policy analysts who can provide timely and appropriate information and analysis to policymakers. The concurrent MEM/MPP or MF/MPP degrees provides training in the politics and economics of resource and environmental policymaking. Emphasis is placed on understanding the social and political forces involved, developing facility with quantitative and logical methods of forecasting and evaluating policy consequences. Knowledge of the uses and limitations of policy analysis and an awareness of the ethical dimensions of policy choice are also stressed.
"The MEM/MPP concurrent degree has enabled me to work at the intersection of environmental science and public policy. I've contributed to regulatory comments on rules released by the Environmental Protection Agency, applying technical skills I learned at the Nicholas School to a public policy issue."
-Simon Heinberg, MEM/MPP student
read q&A with Simon
Requirements
- At least 36 units of credit within the Nicholas School are required to receive the Master of Environmental Management (MEM) or 39 units of credit for the Master of Forestry (MF) degree.
- A summer internship with a resource or environmental agency, or with a related legislative, judicial or interest group, is required for the MPP degree.
The concurrent degree takes three years to complete. The first year is typically devoted to study in the Sanford School of Public Policy, the second year is spent in the Nicholas School and the third year is divided between the two schools.
MEM/MPP or MF/MPP candidates must apply to and be accepted by both the Nicholas School of the Environment and the Sanford School of Public Policy. 糖心传媒s electing to pursue the MEM or MF concurrently with the MPP must complete requirements for both degrees before either degree will be awarded.
For detailed information on the MPP degree, e-mail to MPPadmit@duke.edu or write to the Admissions Office, 171-B Rubenstein Hall, 糖心传媒, Box 90243, Durham, NC 27708-0243, or visit the .
Degree Program Sequencing
It is generally preferable for students wishing to pursue an MEM/MPP or MF/MPP concurrent degree program to begin their studies with the first academic year in Public Policy, taking 27 or 30 credits, and then completing the required MPP summer internship. The second year would be spent at the Nicholas School. Year three would include coursework at both schools, including PUBPOL 807 and 808, the Sanford School's Master's Project courses.
糖心传媒s who start with two semesters in the Nicholas School and then go to Public Policy may be waived out of some of the first-year Public Policy courses and vice versa. 糖心传媒s lacking Nicholas School prerequisites should start in Public Policy. 糖心传媒s following either sequence should consult with advisors from the other program during their first year in order help coordinate course selection for the two programs. Most students will need three years to complete both coursework and MP requirements (or equivalent).
Master's project or capstone experience
MEM/MPP students are not required to complete a Master鈥檚 Project or Course-Based Pathway to fulfill NSOE degree requirements, as the concurrent degree provides significant depth of study and professional skill development that meet those learning objectives. MF/MPP students are required to complete the Forestry Capstone. All students still wishing to pursue a Master鈥檚 Project may do so. Please contact your master's program chair or academic advisor with further questions. MEM/MPP and MF/MPP dual degree students will need to fulfill the Master鈥檚 Project requirements set by the MPP program.
Other Tips
- Nicholas School faculty generally encourage concurrent MPP students to choose an MEM concentration other than policy, in order to maximize the added value of the concurrent degree.
- If you are doing a client-centered Sanford MP, it is highly beneficial for your MPP summer internship after your first year to yield a client and topic for your MPP MP, as it can be difficult to secure one later while balancing Nicholas School coursework.
- All MEM/MPPs or MF/MPPs register for Master's Project I (PUBPOL 807) in their final (3rd fall) semester and Master's Project II (PUBPOL 808) in their final spring.

Why a concurrent MEM/MCRP Degree?
Rapid urbanization is increasing social and environmental stressors at the local level across the globe, increasing demand for professionals who can understand these interactions and develop solutions that simultaneously address needs across the social, built and natural environments. Likewise, the most significant U.S. efforts to address climate mitigation and adaptation are currently taking place at the state and local levels, once again giving rise to the need for professionals with expertise in both urban and regional planning and management of natural systems, who can apply a wide range of skills to understand and guide the future of human settlements while mitigating their environmental, social, and economic impacts.
The Master of Environmental Management & Master of City and Regional Planning (MEM/MCRP) or Master of Forestry (MF/MCRP) dual degree program between the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke and the at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides this knowledge, along with the technical and analytical skills needed to become a leader in urban sustainability, resilience and environmental stewardship. Individuals with expertise in environmental policy and finance, renewable energy, environmental health, or urban ecology, as well as urban planning and design, will be especially competitive in the emerging job market. MEM/MCRP graduates will find employment in the public and private sectors and nongovernmental organizations, and the dual degree will open employment options at the local (municipal) and regional levels.
"The MEM/MCRP program has allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of policy at a national, state and local level. Together, the degrees have helped me understand how to collaborate with communities, support organizations in navigating decisions and political situations, and prepared me with technical skills (GIS, R Studio, economic analysis, etc.)"

Requirements
MEM/MCRP students must fulfill the core course requirements for each program and will earn separate degrees. The MEM credit total drops from 48 to 36, for the MEM degree (and 48 to 39
for the MF degree), while the MCRP threshold drops from 51 to 42, allowing MEM-MCRP students to complete both degrees in three years (six full-time semesters).
The MCRP program requires a Master鈥檚 Project. 糖心传媒s fulfill their MCRP MP requirement by completing a final project of professional quality on a topic in their area of specialization. This is an independent project and students must complete it in their last semester in the program. 糖心传媒s may expand on work they have already completed as part of their MEM requirements by carving out an independent portion if the MEM project was a group project and by diving deeper into the Urban Planning component of the project.
Prospective MEM/MCRP students apply separately to each institution, with admission to one program not guaranteeing acceptance into the other. The MEM/MCRP program requires three continuous years of full-time study and leads to a Master of Environmental Management degree conferred by Duke, and a Master of City and Regional Planning degree conferred by UNC Chapel Hill. 糖心传媒s must complete requirements for both degrees before either degree will be awarded.
