Current MBA Students
Matriculated students pursuing a Master of Business Administration are eligible to apply for the dual degree program after completing a minimum of 6 credits. A 3.00 cumulative grade point average is required at the time of declaring the dual degree program and must be maintained in order to graduate within the dual degree program.
To declare the dual degree pathway, candidates submit a two-paged typed letter of intent to their advisor and the SCPS Dean with an explanation of why they are pursuing the dual degree and how the additional degree will support their professional goals. They must then be approved by the Dean to enroll.
Once approved, students are able to start taking required MSL courses in conjunction with their MBA coursework. Students in the dual degree program are subject to the School’s policy regarding taking two courses during one session.
While there can be course overlap between the two programs, a MBA degree must be conferred prior to the student graduating with the MSL degree. Students in the dual degree program should work closely with their advisor when scheduling courses to ensure that they are able to confer the MBA degree prior to completing the required MSL courses.
If a MSL core course was taken previously as an elective towards fulfilling the MBA degree requirement, an additional elective course must be taken to replace the required MSL core course.
