The Dual Degree Overview
Smith MBA students can combine MBA
studies with graduate course work in
other degree programs to create a unique
set of skills and knowledge. It's just
one more way the Smith MBA can help you
distinguish yourself in a competitive
marketplace.
MBA/MS in Business
Administration
MBA/MPP (Master of Public
Policy)
MBA/JD (Juris Doctor)
MBA/MSW Degree (Master of
Social Work)
Requirements for dual degrees vary by
program, but generally students take the
MBA core courses and then complete the
degree requirements for the other
graduate program. Separate applications
may be required, and some programs may
require additional standardized tests
prior to admission.
MBA/MS in Business
Administration
Integrating specialized research
