2016-2017 MPS/MBA On-Campus Degree Program Course Listing (DPCL)
The total number of credits for the dual degree is 72. Upon completion of this on-campus program, the student will be awarded two separate degrees. The requirements for both must be completed before either degree can be awarded. The student must be enrolled in both degree programs simultaneously in order to take advantage of the tuition and credit hour discounts.
Students failing to meet all of the requirements of the program are awarded the Master of Pastoral Studies or Master of Business Administration degree only if they fulfill the complete, non-reduced requirements for the individual degree as outlined in the Loyola Institute for Ministry or College of Business bulletins, respectively.
Students need to complete the foundation courses in both the Institute for Ministry and College of Business before taking the core courses. Students will finish with a capstone:
