Dual Degree Program The Dual Degree Program is a partnership between GovStateUniv and 17 Illinois community colleges. Contact our team today! www.govst.edu/ddp-contact/

DDP students complete their associate degree at their community college and then transfer seamlessly to GSU to complete their bachelor's degree—earning both degrees within four years, close to home. DDP students benefit from:

* Guaranteed admission to GSU (some programs require extra materials to be admitted.)

* Locked-in GSU tuition rate for four years, starting in the term of DDP enrollment at their community college.

* Eligibility to apply for exclusive scholarship only available for DDP students, allowing recipients to complete their bachelor's degree at GSU debt free!

* Counseling and advising from GSU and their respective community colleges to ensure proper course selection and transferability.

*Mentoring from experienced, trained DDP students who can help identify and utilize resources outside of the classroom.
