Executive Dual Degree Programs
Graduates of selected UMUC master’s degree programs
(whether obtained through the executive or standard format)
can also obtain a Master of Business Administration (MBA)
through the accelerated format of Executive Programs. These
dual degree students may earn two master’s degrees for a total of
54 to 60 credits, rather than the 78 to 81 credits that would be
needed if two master’s programs were completed separately.
Students must complete all degree requirements for the first
master’s degree program before they can earn an MBA. To
obtain the MBA, students must then complete 18–24 additional
credits from the Executive Program for the MBA. This dual
degree option through Executive Programs is available to graduates
of the following UMUC programs: Master of International
Management, Master of Science in e-commerce, Master of
Science in health care administration, Master of Science in
management, or Master of Science in technology management.
All of the requirements for both degrees must be completed
within seven years. All MBA degree course work must be completed
within six years.
Program Requirements
In addition to the general admission requirements, applicants
must meet the requirements listed on p. 92 for the Executive
Program for the MBA.
Formats/Locations
The Executive Program for the MBA is offered in an accelerated
format that combines classroom seminars with online study.
The Saturday seminars are offered at a single UMUC site in the
Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Emphasis is placed on
speaking and formal presentation skills in the classroom seminars
and on writing and analytical skills in the online course work.
