Students can earn a B.S. in Business Administration in any specialization and a MBA (B.S./MBA program) in as little as five years of full-time study. The B.S./MBA Program is competitive and specially designed for highly motivated students. Students who are admitted into the program must meet with the Undergraduate Business Administration Chair or their PACT Mentor prior to enrolling in courses since the program requires a prescribed course sequencing to complete the program in five years. 

The program accepts students at any stage of their undergraduate studies. Enrolled students follow a specific curriculum, and graduate at the end of the summer term of the fourth year with a B.S. in Business Administration degree. Thereafter, students earn an MBA degree after completing one additional year of prescribed graduate course work. Twelve graduate credits (four core courses) in the MBA program count toward both the B.S. Business Administration and MBA degrees. 

Progression Requirements for the Graduate Portion of the Program: 

In the fall of their fourth undergraduate year, students in the B.S./M.B.A. program will be evaluated by the Graduate and Undergraduate Business Administration Chairs for a review of their continued qualifications and progression to the MBA portion of the program. Students must have a 3.0 overall and major GPA to progress to the MBA program in the spring quarter term of the fourth year. For those students who do not meet the GPA requirement, their major will be changed to the B.S. Business Administration and they will complete 12 credits of undergraduate open electives in the spring semester of the fourth year. The BS Business Administration degree will be conferred upon completion of the undergraduate degree requirements.
