A combination of management skills and in-depth knowledge...

Our MS-MBA Dual Degree track is designed to equip graduates with the best of both worlds...an MBA degree built on a strong foundation in management and a four-course specialty in one of three concentration areas - Accounting, Cybersecurity, or Information and Technology Management - and a Master of Science degree with in-depth knowledge in the chosen area of concentration.
The added value in taking these two degrees in combination is that a number of courses from your MBA program can also be used to meet the MS requirements.
