Double Degrees
Bachelor of Computing Science (BCS)
Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)
Double degrees in both computing and business will provide graduates with a strong platform from which to launch a successful career in the Information Age. Whether it is working as a web applications manager at a major marketing company, an information systems consultant at a major accounting firm, or the CEO of a new software start up, BCS/BBA students will posses the combined management skills and computing “know how” needed to be successful in an increasingly high-tech business environment.
To earn double degrees, students must meet the requirements of both programs. You might think this would take eight years of study (four years for each degree), but this is not true. Many core and elective courses can be “double counted,” which greatly reduces the time to completion. Through careful course selection, it is possible to complete two degrees in just five years.
In today’s competitive job market, the extra year of study that double degrees entail could be the difference between finding a good job or not. Two degrees for the price of one, how can you lose?
