PROGRAMS
The programs offered by the Lally School are the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) and the Master of Science in Management. Dual degrees with the Departments of Engineering and Computer and Information Sciences are available.

Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)
The objective of the M.B.A. program is to prepare students to become leaders of modern organizations, to innovate in the enterprises they serve, and to advance their own careers. The candidates admitted are people who seek to mobilize technology for solving management problems and who bring management insights into organizations.

Master of Science in Management
The M.S. in Management is a specialized program for individuals with a demonstrable focus on their career plans. The program requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate work. The specific requirements for the program are developed for an individual student or a specialized audience.

Dual Master's Programs
The technological orientation and flexibility of the Management and Technology M.B.A. allow for unique programs leading to two masters degrees.

Option 1
Joint M.B.A./M.S. programs allow a student to complete both master's degrees in a total of 72 credit hours (an M.B.A. alone is 60 credits).

• M.B.A. with the Lally School / Master of Science with the Department of Engineering and Science

• Master of Science in Management / Master of Science with the Department of Engineering and Science

• Technology is becoming a primary source of competitive advantage in all sectors of the economy.
• The ability to convert technology to competitive advantage is a function of managerial practice.
• The conventional style of business education, isolated from technology, is obsolete. A new paradigm of business education, in which management and technology are blended together, is required.

Education Methods
In its programs, the Lally School strives for a balance between theory and practice, and between rigor and relevance. The programs place heavy emphasis on the application of knowledge through team-based projects.
