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 courses.
