Special Programs
Bachelor of Architecture/Master of Civil Engineering
Qualified students enrolled at IIT may earn both the
Bachelor of Architecture and one of two professional masters’
degrees in civil engineering. Students who seek the
Master of Structural Engineering degree (MAS STE)
must successfully complete the following courses as part
of their undergraduate program in architecture: MATH
151, MATH 152, MATH 251, MMAE 201, MMAE 202,
CAE 303, CAE 304, CAE 307, CAE 310, CAE 431, and
CAE 432. Students who seek the Master of Construction
Bachelor of Science/Master of Business Administration
One of the most appealing career preparations is the combination
of a bachelor’s degree with the Master of Business
Administration (M.B.A.) degree. IIT students who complete
the necessary undergraduate management courses may
earn both the bachelor’s degree and the M.B.A. degree in
about five years, rather than the usual six years. An exception
exists in the case of architecture, where qualified
students may earn a bachelor’s degree and the M.B.A.
degree in about six years, rather than the usual seven years.
The undergraduate courses listed below, when included as
part of the bachelor’s degree program, replace graduate
courses that are part of the M.B.A. program. This allows
students to complete the M.B.A. with as few as
16 quarter courses.
Bachelor of Science/Master of Public Administration
Qualified students who are interested in careers in the
public sector may complete their BS and Master’s Degree
in Public Administration in five or fewer years.
The requirements for the Bachelor of Science concentration
in Political Science and Master of Public
Administration are often completed in four and a half
years. Requirements for a BS degree in engineering or
science can be combined with an MPA degree and usually
take somewhat longer, depending on the student’s load
each semester and his or her total program. Students
interested in this option submit their request to the MPA
program after their fourth semester. Qualified students
are granted provisional admission to the program and

Engineering and Management (MAS CM) must successfully
complete the following courses as part of their
undergraduate program in architecture: CAE 323, CAE
431, CAE 432, and CAE 457.
Students who anticipate entering into the program
should seek advising in the Department of Civil and
Architectural Engineering and the College of Architecture
early in their studies at IIT.
Taken as undergraduate: Advanced standing
in graduate school for:
BUS 210 MBA 510
BUS 301 MBA 520
BUS 305 MBA 570
BUS 371 MBA 560
Students who are considering the Bachelor/M.B.A.
program should consult with the Stuart School of
Business undergraduate programs adviser as early as
possible in their academic career in order to plan a
program enabling them to receive the maximum number
of advanced standing credits toward their M.B.A. Formal
application to the M.B.A. program, which includes a
Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score,
should be submitted prior to the completion of the
seventh semester of the bachelor’s program.
begin taking the graduate level MPA courses, usually at
the rate of one per semester. When the student has completed
substantially all the requirements for the BS
portion of the program, the student applies for regular
admission to the graduate program. The decision about
regular admission will be based on the work the student
has completed at the time of his request for regular
admission. By then, the student will have completed the
MPA foundation courses. Students in this program
receive credit toward their BS electives for two MPA
courses and with the approval of the academic director,
may receive credit toward their MPA degree for up to
six hours of relevant undergraduate coursework.
