Dual Degree Programs

At CGU, you can earn two degrees simultaneously to expand your skills and to tailor your IS degree to suite your specific goals and interests. This is a great way to make yourself more competitive and to give yourself a distinct advantage in the marketplace.

Although you can earn a dual degree with almost any degree program at CGU, our most popular Dual-Degree program is the MSIS/MBA, in conjunction with the prestigious Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management.
