Dual Degrees
There are limitless possibilities to combine the full-Time MBA with a graduate degree in another Syracuse University school or college. The following combinations have been most popular in recent years: MBA/MS, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications; MBA/MPA, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs; MBA/MS, L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science; MBA/JD, College of Law; and MBA/MS, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
 Certificate Programs
Whitman is home to the new Certificate in Advanced Students in Sustainable Enterprise (CASSE), open to students from a range of disciplines. The certificate is an outcome of unique collaboration to provide curriula, outreach, and research on sustainable enterprise with the Whitman School, SUNY-ESF, SU's L.C. Smith College of Engineering, and the Syracuse Center of Excellence.
Accelerated Program
Students with four or more years of full-time work experience and an undergraduate degree in business from an AACSB International-accredited institution are eligible for Whitman’s one-year accelerated MBA program. This 36-credit program is available only on a full-time basis with 15 credits taken both in the fall and spring semesters and the final six credits taken during the summer semester.
Students usually conduct a full-time job search as soon as they begin the program to facilitate starting a new position upon graduation. An internship may also be worked into the accelerated MBA program but will vary the length of the program.
