BA/BS/MBA Requirements and Eligibility

Application Procedure

The BA/BS/MBA program requires a two-tiered application process which includes both undergraduate and graduate requirements. All applicants are required to complete a BA/BS/MBA Accelerated Degree Application available through their undergraduate advisor once they have accumulated 90 credits and before reaching 120 credits. Provisionally accepted students will submit a graduate application and application materials in their final undergraduate year.

Applying as a High School Senior

  • Student must have a high school GPA of at least 3.5

At the undergraduate level, students can be provisionally accepted into the BA/BS/MBA program at the time of admission. Once the student has accumulated 90 credits, an Accelerated Degree Application must be completed before reaching 120 credits, at which time a BA/BS/MBA code will be placed on the application.

A plan of study/sequence sheet must be completed for each applicant with the assistance of their undergraduate advisor to ensure that all undergraduate degree requirements are met within the required four years. Both documents must be submitted together for approval and processing.
