Similarly, students can add a concentration to their MBA degree such as business analytics, healthcare management, hospitality and tourism management, organizational management, or risk management. Students in this dual degree program achieve the student learning outcomes for both the B.S. Business Administration and MBA degrees.
Requirements for Major
