Master of Science in E-Commerce/Master of Business
Administration
The purpose of the dual Master of Science (MS) in e-commerce and the Master of
Business Administration (MBA) is to enable students to extend the breadth and depth
of their management study. Based upon the shared curricula of both programs, dual
degree students may earn both the MS in e-commerce and MBA degrees for substantially
fewer credits than if each program were completed separately.
Program Requirements
Students who are interested in pursuing dual degrees must meet the admission requirements
of each program. Information on the MS in e-commerce may be found on p. 57;
the MBA is described on p. 39.
Formats/Locations
Courses in e-commerce and those for students pursuing the MBA as part of a dual
degree program are currently offered online only. Students should check the current
Graduate Schedule of Classes to determine when courses will be offered.
Students with at least five years of managerial experience may be eligible to complete
all or part of the MBA portion of the dual degree program in an accelerated executive
format; more information is on pp. 95–96.
Curriculum Requirements
Students in the dual MS in e-commerce/MBA program can choose to complete the
MS in e-commerce first and then take additional credits to earn the MBA or complete
the MBA first and then take additional credits to earn the MS in e-commerce.
Students who first complete the MS in e-commerce, and meet all the requirements for
graduation for that program, may then earn the MBA by completing 24 credits of
MBA work, for a total of 60 credits for both degrees.
Students must take the following MBA courses:
AMBA 602D The Dynamics of Individuals and Groups at Work (6)
AMBA 604D Technology and Operations Management (6)
AMBA 605D The Economics of Management Decisions (6)
AMBA 606D Organizations and the External Environment (6)
