How the program works

Get a head start on your MBA while earning your bachelor’s degree. Before beginning your senior year of undergraduate studies, you can apply for admission to the MBA program and count 12 credits toward both your bachelor’s and master’s degree. By taking graduate-level courses as an undergraduate and taking two elective courses during the summer after your senior year, you can then go on to earn a master’s degree after one year of study.
