MBA 4+1 with Rochester Institute of Technology
Through an agreement with the Saunders College of Business at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), business students at Lycoming can work toward a Master of Business Administration while also earning a bachelor’s degree. Traditional MBA programs can take around two years to complete, but through our 4+1 agreement, students may be able to earn their advanced degree after just one year, saving money and positioning themselves for higher paying careers. A representative from RIT, as well as our business program faculty, works one-on-one with students as they pick the right undergraduate courses to prepare them for the MBA program.
RIT’s MBA program provides a broad understanding of business disciplines through a rigorous core curriculum, with the ability to specialize in an additional area. Customizable focus areas in business analytics, management information systems, supply chain management, entrepreneurship, and more cater to specific career goals and employers’ business needs. Flexible schedule options make it possible for students to gain work experience through a co-op experience, which is paid full-time work, in your area of study.
Once accepted into the MBA program, students may be able to waive some graduate-level courses, saving on tuition costs and expediting their time to completion (see here for Lycoming’s +1 MBA agreement with RIT: +1 MBA for Partner Colleges | Saunders College of Business | RIT). In addition, each Lycoming graduate saves at least 30% on the cost of tuition at RIT with one Lycoming student being eligible for a 50% scholarship each year.
Graduates of the program have gone into commercial banking, the technology industry, and more.
For more information on admission to the MBA 4+1 program with RIT, please contact Georg Grassmueck, Ph.D., associate professor of business administration, at grassmue@lycoming.edu.
