Each program combines the full Ivey HBA with a specialized second degree over 5 years.
Two questions that separate dual degree candidates from sequential degree candidates.
If yes — a combined degree establishes the academic depth and specialization that graduate programs look for alongside a business credential. The dual degree positions you for both professional roles and further study.
