Five-Year B.S.B.A. in Business Administration (Accounting Major)/MBA Program

Our Five-Year BSBA/MBA Program

The five-year program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is designed for high-achieving, goal-oriented students who are committed to completing an MBA as part of their professional education.

Students admitted to this program will complete the BSBA in four years of study, and complete the MBA degree by the end of the fifth year. Students must:

  • Maintain the highest ethical standards and abide by the Academic Integrity Policy;
  • Adhere to the prescribed schedule for program completion;
  • Complete two experiential education assignments (one must be graduate level);
  • Participate actively in the College’s Mentoring program;
  • Attend periodic cohort meetings.

The five-year program includes the following:

  • The program provides challenging academic coursework that prepares students for successful business careers.
  • All pre-core requirements for the MBA are waived, eliminating 18 credit hours; there is no entrance exam or other special requirements for entering the graduate phase of the program.
  • The program includes appropriate work experience in preparation for the MBA Program. Students must complete a minimum of two cooperative education assignments (i.e. internships.) One of these must be a graduate internship completed between the fourth and fifth year.
  • Note that beginning Fall 2015, students in the five-year program are also required to complete an international experience as part of the program.

  • CBA Offerings for Non-Business Students

    The College offers a minor in Business for students majoring outside the College of Business Administration. This provides an in-depth introduction to business with 21 credits in accounting, business, and economics. See the Business Minor Program page.

    Some classes are specifically designed for the non-business student, for example, BUS 1500 Introduction to Business and BUS 2900 Personal Finance. Non-business students may take any of the accounting and business courses that are offered as part of the business minor or incorporated into other minors within the university as long as they meet the course prerequisites. For example, the Leadership, Actuarial Science, and Entrepreneurship minors are interdisciplinary minors which include business class options. Non-business students interested in other College of Business Administration courses should contact the office to discuss their interests.
