Dual Degrees

Expand your professional options by combining the business acumen of an MBA degree and the specialized knowledge and skills of a specialized master’s program. Earning an MBA enables you to advance your career into management and leadership roles while earning a specialized master's helps you become an expert in a particular area of study. Combining the two degrees will give you the specific knowledge and overall leadership skills that will accelerate your career. 

Additionally, students save both time and money by pursuing two degrees simultaneously rather than earning each degree separately.

Both the MSIS and MSBA degrees carry a STEM designation, which gives MBA/MSIS and MBA/MSBA dual degree students tremendous job opportunities in the growing field of technology. As a STEM degree, these programs qualify international students for Optional Practical Training (OPT) extensions.

For more information about the MBA contact: Scot Sanders, Assistant Director of Graduate Business Admissions

DUAL DEGREE SCHOLARSHIP INFO

MBA/Master of Science in Business Analytics (MBA/MSBA) 

The dual MBA/MSBA degree program can be completed in 23 months. The Business School requires MBA/MSBA students to take 36 hours of core MBA courses. Since the MBA elective course requirements are waived, the length of the MBA portion of the MBA/MSBA program is only one year. Students can choose to start with either the MBA or MSBA program, but both programs have a summer term of entry. Unlike the MBA/MSIS degree plan, classes for both degree will not overlap. Rather, students will complete each degree back-to-back.

MSBA Contact: Phil Young, Director, MSBA Program

MBA/MSBA DEGREE PLAN

MBA/Master of Science in Information Systems (MBA/MSIS) 

The dual degree program can be completed in 21-24 months. Each student can choose their own order of courses. Since all of the coursework is delivered in the Business School, you will take MBA and MSIS courses simultaneously. Your degree plan for the MBA/MSIS program depends on your entering semester and educational background.
