Dual Degree - Bachelor of Science - Business Economics & Master of Business Administration (4 + 1)

Dual degree students are guaranteed a place in the Master of Business Administration program provided they continue, as undergraduate students, to meet program-specific criteria to progress into enrollment in the graduate program. Dual degree students, therefore, have a space reserved for them in the graduate program beginning in their first year, with clear criteria and achievements required to progress into the graduate program.

Combined with advisement from their undergraduate academic advisor, participation in activities and programs offered by the Welch College of Business & Technology and the MBA program provide strong support toward successful progression into graduate study.  

Students in the MBA Dual Degree Program earn a bachelor’s and an MBA degree in five years. Students complete the bachelor’s degree in the traditional four-year time frame and complete one year of graduate study in the MBA program. This option is open to students in all Welch College of Business & Technology majors.  

Dual degree students pursuing the MBA degree may complete up to six credits toward their graduate degree during their undergraduate studies. These credits count toward both the undergraduate and the graduate degrees. Students, therefore, save on the cost of graduate tuition as these credits are included in the cost of the full-time undergraduate tuition.
