Dual M.B.A.-M.S.S.F.

For business professionals who want increased versatility, IU Southeast offers the option of a double degree, the dual M.B.A./M.S.S.F.  The dual curriculum, which combines the general management education of the M.B.A. with more focused study in strategic finance, provides students with unique career advantages.  Students who complete the dual degree program bring to the job the managerial skills developed through the M.B.A. curriculum and the advanced training in accounting and finance the M.S.S.F. provides.

Through the overlap of electives, students can complete the joint program in significantly less time than it would take to complete each program separately.  Once all foundation requirements are met for the M.B.A. and M.S.S.F., students can obtain both the M.B.A. and M.S.S.F. degrees by taking a total of 51 credit hours rather than the 72 credit hours required when each program is considered individually.

M.B.A./M.S.S.F. Curriculum (51 Credit Hours)

The dual degree consists of a total of 51 hours and is broken down as follows:

  • 36 hours of M.B.A. degree requirements
  • 12 hours unique to the M.S.S.F. degree
    • Special Topics:  Information Technology Management Issues
    • Taxes and Business Deductions
    • Business analysis and Valuation
    • Advanced Corporate Finance
  • 3 hour graduate business course
