Curriculum requirements for the BA/MBA program are identical to those of the 2-year MBA program.
Students in this program transfer 16 credits from their BA or BS to the MBA. Students work closely with the MBA Program Advisor to review their academic goals and to develop individual curriculum plans based on the undergraduate coursework they've completed. Students then complete the remaining 48 credits in three graduate semesters.
