Master of Science in Accounting and Information
Technology/Master of Science in Management

students to extend the breadth and depth of their graduate studies beyond the specialties
of accounting and information technology. Based on the shared curricula of both
programs, the dual degrees may be earned in 54 credits, which is substantially fewer
credits than if each program were completed separately.
