Business Administration Division

5-Year BS/MBA Program

The business administration division, in collaboration with the Graziadio School of Business and Management, is excited to announce the creation of the 5-Year BS/MBA Program.

This cutting-edge program gives students the opportunity to earn a bachelor of science in business administration, international business, or accounting and a master of business administration (MBA) or an international master of business administration (IMBA) in a total of five years.  In addition to on-campus course work, students are required to complete two internships -- the first during the summer following their junior year and the second during the summer following their senior year.

Students considering applying to the 5-year program should be aware that certain undergraduate major requirements are satisfied through graduate-level classes taken during the student's final three semesters at the Graziadio School of Business and Management.
