Applying to a coordinated dual degree program will not hurt your chances of being selected for your single degree. In our process, your application will be reviewed first for the coordinated degree program. If you are not admitted the CDD program, then your application will be considered for your single degree program. The decision on your application for the CDD program will not impact the review of your application for your single degree program. More information on [Coordinated Dual Degrees](https://admissions.upenn.edu/academics/exploring-academics/specialized-degree-programs) can be found online.
