| Announcing iMSM to iMBA Stackability |
We are excited to share another unique benefit about the iMSM program at Gies College of Business! Once students complete their iMSM program, they can now apply to the iMBA program to stack their MSM degree into the MBA!
This is the first time in the history of the University of Illinois that a degree can stack into another degree, and it is one of the very rare examples of this being done at any business school in the country. It is all part of our mission to make life-changing education affordable and accessible to learners of all ages, experiences, locations, and financial means. This new stackable option means those in the iMSM program can achieve their goals in the most flexible, affordable, and impactful way possible. |
