10 UCLA Anderson Concurrent MBA Degrees
Dual, or concurrent, degrees allow students to earn an MBA alongside another graduate degree for a combined track. This gives students the opportunity to develop theoretical and practical knowledge in another field simultaneously with their MBA studies. It’s an excellent course of action for students interested in multiple areas at the same time.
At UCLA Anderson’s Graduate School of Management, applicants have the opportunity to choose between ten unique MBA dual degree programs. For each of these programs, the candidate must submit a separate application to each program, following the instructions set forth by each program’s website. Decisions for admission will also be made separately, and you must be admitted to both programs simultaneously to earn your dual degree. Continue reading…
Lehigh Launches Computer Science Initiative
Lehigh University has announced the launch a strategic university initiative that will expand Lehigh’s capacities for teaching and learning in computer and data science, while increasing access to such courses for students. The initiative, called Data X, will open Lehigh to recruit and hire new faculty in computer science and related fields, introduce the concepts of computer science to areas of study all across the university, which will position Lehigh as a leader in an increasingly essential field.
Professor and chair of Lehigh’s department of computer science and engineering, Daniel Lopresti, who has served as interim dean of the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science since July, will lead the Data X initiative. Lopresti is a widely respected researcher whose work in fundamental algorithmic and systems-related questions in pattern recognition, bioinformatics and computer security has placed him at the forefront of his field.
