Joint Degrees allow students to earn two graduate degrees simultaneously. Typically, the period of study is shorter than if each degree was pursued independently. The Illinois MBA has developed several joint degree agreements with other departments on campus.
Students need to apply to each degree program separately. All admissions decisions are made independently. It's a good idea to be familiarized with admissions policies and all application procedures for each individual college.
Students interested in a joint degree with one of the following colleges must complete the requirements outlined by both the joint college and the Illinois MBA. To obtain a list of requirements for the joint colleges below, contact the college directly.
