Application Procedure
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 an BSMBA Intent to Enroll Form in their final undergraduate year.
- High School Seniors: Student must have a high school GPA of at least 3.5
- Current Drexel Students: Student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2 and be within the credit range of 90-120 credits
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.
Graduate Application Requirements
In student’s final undergraduate year, provisionally admitted students will receive an email with a link to the BSMBA Intent to Enroll form where they will confirm if they would like to proceed with the graduate program. This email will include a link to the form, and appropriate deadlines and additional information. A student will continue in a provisional status until they meet the following requirements at the completion of their undergraduate program:
- Successful completion of all undergraduate degree requirements
- Minimum 3.2 cumulative GPA
- Completion of one co-op experience
- Were not fired from any co-op experience

Course Application
Students can leverage graduate coursework in three ways:
Option 1. As part of Accelerated Programs/Combined Programs degree requirements
- Undergraduate LeBow, Close, COAS and Westphal students provisionally accepted into an accelerated or combined degree program must follow their approved plan of study which specifically prescribes which graduate courses the student will take and when.
- Graduate credit is only applied to the graduate program if a B grade or better is earned
- Graduate credits earned can be used to fulfill free elective requirements for the student’s undergraduate degree
Option 2. As part of undergraduate degree requirements
- Undergraduate students may enroll in a LeBow graduate course if they meet the academically qualified criteria and have completed any required course prerequisites.
- Credits and grades will appear on the student’s transcript and will be counted toward the undergraduate grade point average (GPA).
- Any graduate credits earned under this option can only fulfill free elective requirements for the student’s undergraduate degree- The course credits for each graduate course taken as an undergraduate student, shall only be applied to, at most, one graduate degree with departmental permission.
Option 3. In excess of undergraduate degree requirements
- Undergraduate students may enroll in a LeBow graduate course, if they meet the academically qualified criteria and have completed any required course prerequisites.
- Graduate credits earned with a B grade or better as an undergraduate student may apply to an advanced degree at Drexel or another institution- Credits and grades will appear on the student’s transcript and will be counted toward the undergraduate grade point average (GPA).
Financial Aid Considerations
Students receiving federal financial aid should consult with Drexel Central to understand the potential impact of graduate coursework on their aid eligibility.
Schedule a meeting with your academic advisor to discuss course options and obtain approval. Note that not all courses are available for undergraduates, and additional department approval may be required.
This policy is effective immediately. LeBow undergraduates are encouraged to explore this exciting opportunity to broaden their academic horizons.
