Being able to earn two degrees at once is another way to reframe your future and nurture your intellectual curiosity. There are few better places to do that than the University of California, Berkeley, where Haas students can take advantage of other top-ranked degree programs to combine an MBA with law, engineering, public health, or climate solutions.

Students pursuing a dual degree must satisfy the degree requirements of both programs. The MBA component requires:

  • Completion of the MBA core curriculum (unless waived)
  • MBA elective requirements
  • Internship requirement
  • Maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA
  • Meet residency requirements and pay all tuition and fees

If an MBA core course is waived, the waived course must be replaced with an MBA elective(s) only; non-MBA coursework can not be applied toward the MBA portion of the degree. For details on completing the non-MBA dual-degree requirements, please contact the respective school or department.
