Corporate Communication and Business Dual Degree

Overview

Torn between getting your M.A. in Corporate Communication and your getting your M.B.A.? Look no further! With our dual degree M.A./M.B.A., you can walk away with two degrees from two separate schools within Duquesne University. This 66 credit-degree allows you to combine a passion for clear and articulate communication with a strong understanding of the business world and how it operates.

To Apply:

Students must apply and be accepted to both programs of study. Though the College of Liberal Arts does not require GMAT or GRE scores, it is a requirement for acceptance into the School of Business  (unless waived by AACSB QPA, prior work experience, or other graduate/terminal degree).
