Accelerated Pathways
Rowan University's Rohrer College of Business (RCB) offers accelerated degree pathways to students seeking to pursue multiple degrees in tandem at Rowan University.
Pair a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) with Expertise Across Rowan
Become a Business Leader in Your Field
Business knowledge empowers professionals across disciplines, such as engineering, medicine, finance, and more. Professionals in these sectors are likely to innovate within their field, launch their own businesses, or will need to know how to use their expertise to expand profitability and maximize success for the organizations they operate, own, or serve in.
By combining advanced degrees from different colleges across the university, students can:
- save time and money, as there are opportunities to share a defined set of credits between programs for each particular degree pairing (details for each pathway below);
- gain exposure across disciplines, synthesizing knowledge and applying skills relevant to multiple industries; and
- build expertise that translates into increased value in the marketplace.
Each of Rohrer’s MBA, MS Finance, and Certificate programs hosts a diverse group of students with varied professional backgrounds, experiences, and career goals, providing a unique and rich learning environment and opportunities for building professional relationships across industry sectors.
