Earn a Dual Degree
Deepen your expertise by pursuing multiple degrees at once, whether you’re an undergraduate or a graduate student.
Our dual degree programs give you the chance to expand your academic experience and follow more than one passion. These programs are designed to get you across the finish line faster so you can jump-start your future.
Undergraduate Opportunities
A BS in Business Administration from WashU Olin is just the beginning. Customize your college education by adding a second degree. Earn an MBA or a specialized master’s degree from the business school. You can apply for admission to these programs during your junior year:
- Master of Accounting prepares you for careers in public or corporate accounting, consulting, or financial services. The program also qualifies you to take the CPA exam in states with the “150-hour rule.”
- MS in Business Analytics prepares you to become an analytics-driven business manager who is well versed in guiding firms in the emerging area of data-driven decision-making.
- Select one of three programs to accelerate your finance career: Corporate Finance and Investments, Wealth and Asset Management or Quantitative Finance.
- MS in Supply Chain Management teaches you models and methods for getting goods or services from suppliers to customers efficiently and cost-effectively.
Olin’s selective, early admission 3+2 program enables you to earn your BSBA and MBA in five years, instead of six. Learn more about our Full-Time MBA program.
Torn between business and a technical course of study? An alternative to the BSBA, the BS in Business and Computer Science (BUCS ) is an eight-semester, freshman-entry degree program. Learn about our BUCS program with McKelvey Engineering.

Earn Your MBA and a Specialized Master’s Degree
Become fluent in the fundamentals of business while also drilling down to a specific area of industry. By adding a second business master’s degree to your graduate plan, you go even further toward expert status and set yourself above and apart from your competition. You’ll complete the first summer semester with your MBA classmates. You’ll take classes for both degrees concurrently—some courses will apply to both degrees.

Pair Your MBA with a Degree from Another WashU School
Earn a second master’s degree in law, social work, engineering or another discipline while you work toward your MBA.

These dual degree programs require a separate application to each of the schools.
- Master of Architecture (MArch) or Master of Urban Design (MUD)
- Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering (MS-BME)
- Master of Arts in East Asian Studies (MA)
- Juris Doctor (JD)
