Program Overview:
The School of Business also offers a dual degree B.S. /M.B.A. option which provides students of superior academic ability and maturity the opportunity to accelerate their degree progress. These programs allow students to fulfill the requirements of the undergraduate and graduate degree, which normally require a minimum of 158 credits, in as few as 140 credits.
Once accepted into the dual degree (B.S. /M.B.A.) program, students do not obtain a degree until all course work is completed for both degrees – at which time students are awarded both the B.S. in their desired major and the M.B.A.
Students develop an approved plan of study with guidance from the BS/MBA Program Advisor. Students typically accelerate their progress by identifying graduate courses that can be used to fulfill both graduate and undergraduate requirements.
