I have 8 years of work experience in US with extensive managerial exposure. I am located in Memphis, TN and there are no good MBA schools in the state. Since moving out is not an option, I am looking at the Executive/Part-time MBA options in Chicago, Austin, Dallas, etc. However due to my limited visa tenure, I will need to enroll into a full-time program for the F1 visa.

Considering my situation, I am planning to enroll into the full-time MS in MIS program at University of Memphis for 2 years while pursuing the EMBA from a ranked school. In general I have got the feedback that the MIS may have some common subjects with MBA. Is this doable as per rules in universities? And do you think it will be too much of a stress to pursue both degrees?
