The BS in Business Management and MS in Marketing Communication Management program would allow students to complete the requirements for an undergraduate and graduate degree at Manhattanville at an accelerated pace. The BS in Business Management undergraduate students will be able to complete up to 12 credits in the MS in Marketing Communication Management program prior to the completion of their undergraduate degree and apply these credits to their graduate degree. The BS in Business Management and MS in Marketing Communication Management programs are appropriate for this type of dual degree progression given the content, goals and philosophies underlying the curricula.
After completing a solid foundation in Business Management at the undergraduate level, students continue to the MS degree program. The MS program further educates students by providing them with advanced knowledge and business skills in business to prepare them to assume leadership roles in management. The MS program provides a thorough foundation in business while allowing flexibility for students to explore a wide variety of opportunities within a number of fields.
