MS/MBA Joint Program and Requirements Students interested in combining the Full-Time MBA Cohort or Professional Evening MBA Cohort program with an MS Degree won’t apply to the MS Program until they are already admitted to the MBA Program. These candidates are encouraged to contact the MBA Program Office for more information on the process as it differs from the general requirements for this combined degree program.
Students complete either their MS degree or MBA degree first depending on which MBA Program they desire to be enrolled in. Full-Time MBA Cohort programs need students to complete their MBA first and then MS, whereas students in the MBA Professional (Flex) program first complete their 36 semester credit hours master�s program and then start to accumulate the remaining necessary core hours for the MBA. Students must maintain a three.0 GPA in the core courses and cumulative, for both degrees to qualify for or the other or both degrees. The MS/MBA students must complete both degrees simultaneously to be awarded both degrees.
