Accelerated Dual Degrees
RIT offers a number of accelerated dual degree options for outstanding undergraduate students who wish to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in approximately five years of study.
These dual-degree programs allow you to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in less time than it would normally take to complete each degree separately. For example, you might combine a BS in industrial engineering with a master of business administration (MBA) in a five-year period, or you might complete both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in public policy in five years. Most accelerated programs require completion of freshman and sophomore course work at RIT before applying for admission.
4+1 MBA Program
Students can get a master of business administration (MBA) in one year after completing their undergraduate degree. This accelerated program allows select core MBA courses to be waived with a combination of specific completed coursework. View more details about the 4+1 MBA program.
