Pamplin College of Business – Virginia Tech - MBA/MIT Dual Degree

Program Structure

The Virginia Tech MBA/MIT dual degree program combines the Evening MBA program option with Virginia Tech’s 100 percent online Master of Information Technology program. The VT-MIT program is jointly offered by the Pamplin College of Business and the College of Engineering.

Students can begin the dual degree program by starting in either the Evening MBA or Master of Information Technology program. After completing one degree, five courses can be double-counted towards completion of the second degree, allowing students to complete the second degree in a compressed time-frame.

Curriculum

The Virginia Tech Evening MBA curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in essential business functions while also allowing them to specialize their degree in an area of particular importance to their career goals.

Core courses in accounting and information systems, business information technology, finance, leadership, management, and marketing provide students with solid understanding of fundamental business concepts.

Students then have the option to select from one of eight areas of specialization: business intelligence/business analytics, entrepreneurial leadership and management, global business, financial management, organizational leadership, health information technology, hospitality and tourism management, and general management.

Virginia Tech’s Master of Information Technology program (VT-MIT) is a fully-online, asynchronous, graduate degree program designed for working professionals and jointly offered by the Pamplin College of Business and College of Engineering. The interdisciplinary degree program includes courses originating from five departments: Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Accounting & Information Systems, Business Information Technology, and Management. The curriculum is regularly updated to incorporate current trends in the field and meet emerging market needs.
