This B.S. to MBA Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master Program enables undergraduate business students to complete graduate level business administration courses during the junior and senior year of their traditional business program. Students qualify to graduate with a bachelor’s degree at the end of four years and then complete study in the M.B.A. program.
Traditional courses will be offered on-ground. The MBA core courses are 8 weeks in length and are delivered online. There are no required face-to-face meetings for the MBA core courses. This program is designed for working adults. Students can expect to spend 8-10 hours per week on MBA course related activities. Total time to complete the program is 16 months, with courses starting every 8 weeks.
To remain eligible, students must maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0 with a minimum C in all core and required supporting courses in the undergraduate major.
