Five-year BS / MBA Program
Students in the five-year BS / MBA program can choose between a general MBA and a specialization in Finance.
Acceptance into the Five-year BS / MBA Program requires a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA, a minimum 500 GMAT score, and the approval of the Director of Graduate Programs.
You may declare interest in the 5-year MBA as soon as possible for advising purposes. All qualified business students will be invited to apply for this program by the Dean of the School of Business after completing their sophomore year based on a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50. Invited students who apply for the program must take the GMAT and complete the application for admission to the MBA program before the end of their junior year.
Qualified applicants will be accepted into the program before the start of their senior year, on the strength of their cumulative undergraduate GPA at the end of the junior year and of their GMAT score (minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA and minimum 500 GMAT score) and approval of the Director of the Graduate Program. All students admitted into the program must maintain a minimum of 3.0 in each of the remaining terms in the program in order to graduate.
Upon acceptance into the program, a strict plan for graduation at the end of five-years is put in place. Please note that if you are required to repeat any class, another term (or two, if applicable) may be added to the five-year program.
