<p>I'm currently a Sophomore and aiming for a Business degree in Marketing. I recently saw that my University has a program that offers a dual Computer Science degree along with an MBA of the students choice in just 5 years. For me this sounds sweet. I personally love computers and programming, but can't see myself actually enjoying programmign for a career. At the same time I also want a business-related job in the technology sector. MY school offers several majors a chance to get involved in this program with the same 5 year graduation rate. (Any Engineering major, geography majors, economics and architecture majors) The MBA can also be any program the University offers. (from Accounting to Info. Systems Management)</p>
<p>Would an MBA in a program like this be equivalent or even better than a full-blown BS in an X business field? In other words, are there any true drawbacks to the program other than a extra year and possibly some summer courses?</p>
