Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Management/Master <strong>of</strong> Business<br />
Administration<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> the dual Master <strong>of</strong> Science (MS) in management and the Master <strong>of</strong><br />
Business Administration (MBA) is to provide students with a path to pursue both<br />
breadth and depth study and to achieve two academic master’s degrees from UMUC for<br />
54 to 57 credits. There is shared curriculum content between the core <strong>of</strong> the MS in<br />
management and the MBA (24 credits).<br />
Program Requirements<br />
Students who are interested in pursuing dual degrees must meet the admission requirements<br />
<strong>of</strong> each program. Information on the MS in management may be found on p. 66;<br />
the MBA is described on p. 39.<br />
Formats/Locations<br />
Classes in the MS in management are <strong>of</strong>fered online and at <strong>College</strong> Park and the<br />
Annapolis, Shady Grove, and Waldorf Centers. Specialty track courses may require<br />
attendance at selected sites because <strong>of</strong> enrollment requirements established by UMUC.<br />
MBA classes for students in dual degree programs are <strong>of</strong>fered online only. Students<br />
should check the current Graduate Schedule <strong>of</strong> Classes to determine when courses will be<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered at specific locations.<br />
Students with at least five years <strong>of</strong> managerial experience may be eligible to complete all<br />
or part <strong>of</strong> the MBA portion <strong>of</strong> the dual degree program in an accelerated executive format;<br />
more information is on pp. 95–96.<br />
Curriculum Requirements<br />
Students in the dual MS in management/MBA program can choose to first complete<br />
the MS in management and then take additional credits to earn the MBA or complete<br />
the MBA and then take additional credits to earn the MS in management.<br />
For students who have already completed the MS in management degree and have met<br />
the graduation requirements for that degree, the MBA can then be earned with the<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> 18 additional credits in seminar work. The seminars are<br />
AMBA 604D Technology and Operations Management (6)<br />
AMBA 606D Organizations and the External Environment (6)<br />
AMBA 603D The Marketing <strong>of</strong> New Ideas (6)<br />
or<br />
AMBA 605D The Economics <strong>of</strong> Management Decisions (6)<br />
For those who pursue the MBA first, the dual degree can be accomplished with the<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> 15 credits from an MS in management specialty track (18 credits for a<br />
specialty track in accounting). Students who declare for the dual degree before finishing<br />
the MBA have the option <strong>of</strong> using one <strong>of</strong> the MS in management track courses to<br />
replace AMBA 607B, thus completing both degrees with fewer credits.<br />
