Combined BS/MBA Program
The Department of Management provides an opportunity to work towards an MBA while simultaneously completing a Bachelor's degree. Students in the Combined BS/MBA program are able to complete both degrees in a total of five years, rather than the six years it might take if they were done separately.
Registered WPI undergraduates who are engineering or science majors may enter the Combined BS/MBA Program. A separate and complete application to the MBA program must be submitted. Admission to the Combined Program is determined by the faculty of the Department of Management. The student should begin the curriculum planning process at the time he/she commences his/her undergraduate studies to ensure that all of the required prerequisite undergraduate courses are completed within the student's four years of undergraduate study. It is recommended that the MBA application be submitted at the beginning of the student's junior year of undergraduate study. A student in the Combined Program continues to be registered as an undergraduate until the bachelor's degree is awarded.
The Combined Program is a full-time program of study. Once admitted to the Combined Program, a student must register every fall and spring semester until the MBA is completed. A student in the Combined Program who has no registered activities during a given fall or spring semester is automatically terminated from the Combined Program, and may only be readmitted to the Combined Program by the Department of Management's Graduate Policy and Curriculum Committee and the Committee for Graduate Studies and Research via petition showing extenuating circumstances. Termination from the Combined Program does not affect a student's ability to continue toward the bachelor's degree.
Students interested in the Combined BS/MBA program should also consult the university guidelines on combined programs.
