for Current RIT Students

Get Two Degrees.
Maximize your earning potential with a +1 MBA

Undergraduate students can earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in one year after completing an undergraduate degree. The accelerated +1 MBA program allows you to waive core MBA courses by taking specified undergraduate business courses: a "B" grade or better to receive the MBA course waivers.

An +1 MBA degree allows you to graduate sooner, saving on tuition while preparing you with the qualifications needed to pursue higher-level and higher-paying positions.
