Double degrees show the intensive collaboration between partner universities all over the world, like our long lasting relation to our sister University in Omaha, Nebraska. The primary purpose of this dual degree program is to provide this integration by enabling students to complete either a Master of Arts in MCiT and a Master of Science in MIS or a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree simultaneously. These dual degrees are designed for dedicated students who are willing to take on the challenges related to graduate education from a global perspective – a European and an American lens with a joint area of emphasis on understanding Management, Communication & IT. As such, this program involves intensive transatlantic preparation through a one year study abroad engagement in the second year of their study programs.
