Dual Degree Master Program
Today, more than ever before, employers continue to look for creative, innovative individuals who demonstrate an ability to combine superb technical skills with interpersonal skills needed to lead, manage and inspire a 21st Century workforce. To address this growing need, Lawrence Tech's College of Management faculty has created unique dual degree programs that combine the technical skill development of a specialty degree with the leadership competence gained through an MBA. Students enrolled in this program will receive two master degrees, one in their field of expertise or specialty, and the other in management (MBA).
Dual Degree Program Design
Lawrence Tech’s dual degree program is distinctively designed to enhance the opportunities for personal and professional growth of tomorrow’s leaders. Qualified students in the dual degree program will take core course work in both the College of Management's MBA program and one of its master's programs in Global Leadership and Management, Informations Systems, Manufacturing Systems, Engineering Management, Automotive Engineering, and Architecture. Upon completion of the course work in both programs, a student will be awarded a MBA degree from the College of Management and a Master degree from either the Colleges of Management, Engineering, or Architecture. Upon completion of the course work in both programs, a student will be awarded a MBA degree and a Master's degree from the second master's program.
The dual degree programs consists of forty-nine credits for students who choose to complete their studies by enrolling in the program’s four credit thesis designed to integrate the two disciplines. Students who choose not to write a thesis will take two additional credits for a total of fifty-one credit hours. The forty-nine to fifty-one credit requirements are exclusive of any foundation course work that may be necessary.
Students in the dual degree program will begin by taking course work in the master's program that they designate as their primary degree. Upon completion of their core course work in their primary degree program, they will be awarded a diploma. Upon completion of the course work from their secondary degree program, they will be awarded a second diploma.
