Accelerated MBA

Program Requirements

Students are admitted to the program within the last two semesters of their bachelor’s degree coursework, i.e., with less than 30 credits left to complete. No less than a 3.25 cumulative GPA is required at the time of entry into the Accelerated Bachelor to MBA Program.

Students in freshman or sophomore years are provisionally admitted to the program. Students are fully admitted once the criteria have been satisfied.

Once admitted into the Accelerated Bachelor’s to MBA Program, students will be given an updated degree plan and the timeline for completing their accelerated program. Students will need to follow their degree plans and work with advisors on any changes.

The Accelerated Bachelor’s to MBA students are eligible to take up to three MBA courses as part of their undergraduate program, at the undergraduate tuition rate. These classes will apply as electives or may replace comparable undergraduate business courses, as determined by the student’s advisor and the MBA director in the student’s plan of work. Classes available (up to three) to the Accelerated Bachelors to MBA students are:

• MBA 602 Organizational Behavior
• MBA 611 Business Research Methods
