Combined BS/MBA Program: Curriculum

Bachelor's Degree

During their undergraduate studies, students wishing to pursue the BS/MBA must complete the following courses:

• ACC 1100 Financial Accounting
• FIN 2200 Financial Management
• MA 2611 Applied Statistics I
• MA 2612 Applied Statistics II

• MKT 3600 Marketing Management
• SS 1110 Introductory Microeconomics
• SS 1120 Introductory Macroeconomics

To obtain a bachelor's degree via the Combined Program, a student must satisfy all requirements for the bachelor's degree, including distribution and project requirements.

MBA

To obtain an MBA via the Combined Program, the student must satisfy all MBA degree requirements. In addition to the prerequisite undergraduate courses listed in item 2 above, the student must complete the following graduate courses:

• ACC 514 Business Analysis for Technological Managers
• BUS 515 Legal and Ethical Context of Technological Organizations
• BUS 516 Graduate Qualifying Project (GQP)
• MKT 512 Creating and Implementing Strategy for Technological Organizations
• OBC 511 Interpersonal and Leadership Skills for Technological Managers
• OIE 513 Creating Processes in Technological Organizations
• 12 Elective Credits

A student in the Combined Program may, with prior approval, apply the equivalent of a maximum of 12 graduate credits from the same courses toward both the Bachelor's and MBA degrees. Students in the Combined Program may not take graduate-level management courses prior to their senior year of undergraduate study, and then only provided the corresponding prerequisites have been satisfied. Students in the Combined Program may use advanced undergraduate courses (generally classified as 4000-level courses) to satisfy graduate degree elective requirements. The Department of Management decides which courses may be used in this way. Faculty members teaching these advanced undergraduate courses may impose special requirements, appropriate to an undergraduate course being used for graduate credit, on Combined Program students.

The Department of Management may make other requirements as it deems appropriate in any individual case. These requirements take the form of a written agreement between the student and the Department of Management, and must be filed with the registrar before the student may be matriculated in the Combined Program.
