CURRICULUM and LOGISTICS

The joint Master of Architecture/MBA program requires 73 credit hours – 40 hours from architecture + 33 hours of MBA courses.

NOTE: For architecture courses that will count toward the MBA degree, students must register for the 800 or 900 level graduate course – NOT the 500 or 600 level ARCH course.

Some core requirements may be able to be waived if an approved, equivalent, senior-level course was taken in the student's undergraduate program. Nebraska courses that will be considered in lieu of MBA core requirements:
