Dual Degree (Masters/PhD/Professional)
January, June, and August start dates available.
- Concurrent Degree (Masters/PhD)
- Professional Joint Degree (JD, MD, DDS, DVM, PharmD)
The MIB degree allows current graduate and professional students to diversify their skills with a strong business foundation. Dual degree students can share a total of nine credits between both graduate/professional programs, shortening the duration of the MIB degree.
