M.S. in Computer Science / MBA Dual Degree Program

The Dual Masters degree program in Computer Science and MBA is one of the available Dual Graduate Degree Programs at the University of Bridgeport. The Masters of Science Degree in Computer Science is intended to prepare individuals with a strong mathematical, scientific, or technical background for entry into the computer science field at an advanced level and for further study leading to the doctorate degree.

The MBA is a course of study intended to prepare individuals whose undergraduate background is in business. The MBA Program requires 30 to 54 semester hours of study depending on the student's academic background and level of academic achievement. Students with a recent four-year bachelor's degree and good academic average from an accredited business college may be able to complete the program with 30 semester hours of advanced study. Students with a bachelor's degree in a non-business field may require up to 24 credits of business core courses as foundation for the degree.
