Finance (BBA) & Information Technology Management (MS)

BBA+MS

Lubar undergraduate finance majors can build upon their studies by coupling an accelerated, STEM-designated MS degree in Information Technology Management (ITM) with their BBA Finance degree — and complete both in about five years.

Information technology pervades every aspect of business – from customer-facing apps to back-end systems that support organizations. Combining your BBA in Finance with an MS in ITM will provide you with a unique set of technical skills to leverage your expertise in finance in an increasingly digital world.

Following is a sample outline of how your BBA-Finance plus Accelerated Master’s in IT Management schedule might look.
