  • Resume
• Once all of the portfolio items are submitted, students will be asked to complete an admissions interview. Details are provided upon receipt of portfolio items.

Curriculum

Currently, this program is offered with a major in Management.

• Completion of the Management major in three years will require a one class overload each semester and an additional four classes to be completed during inter-sessions or summer sessions.
• Students are not allowed to be enrolled in more than 19 credit hours per semester.
• For students in the Four Year BBA/MBA program, there is no additional cost for the semester overload, but normal charges do apply to any inter-session or summer course a student may take.
• Students wishing to add a concentration will need to take additional summer and/or inter-session classes at their own expense.
• You will work individually with an academic advisor to determine your undergraduate course schedule
  • Management Curriculum Guide
  • Marketing Curriculum Guide
• Successful completion of your three-year BBA with a 3.25 cumulative GPA will grant you acceptance in the 12-Month Daytime MBA program.
• If at any point you choose to not continue with the Four Year BBA/MBA program, you will still have an opportunity to apply for the 12-Month Daytime MBA program immediately after completing your undergraduate degree.
