MSIS/MBA

Program: MBA-BSAD-B

Program: MS-INFO-B

Students who are interested in obtaining a Master of Business Administration (MBA) as well as a Master of Science in Information Security (MSIS) may pursue a dual master’s program in business administration and information security in less time than would be required to complete two degrees separately. Candidates in this program complete 62-80 credit hours, dependent on their undergraduate preparation.

All policies for Application and Admission for the dual MSIS/MBA program are the same as those for the MBA program.

MBA Curriculum

Foundation Courses (21)

All Lewis MBA students must satisfy Phase I course requirements. These seven required courses provide the background and essential preparation for advanced study.

Students with undergraduate degrees in business may be eligible for a waiver of some or all of the Foundation courses. The student must have earned a grade of B- or better to be eligible for a waiver. Transfer credit must have been earned prior to matriculation.

(Accounting, economics, and quantitative methods require two undergraduate classes each for waiver eligibility.) Students may also petition for Proficiency Exams for Foundation courses if they believe they have a strong background in the subject matter. Proficiency exams must be completed in the student’s first semester of study.
