Want to learn more? Speak with an admissions counselor.
Combined B.S./M.B.A. degrees are available for currently-enrolled Caldwell University School of Business and Computer Science undergraduate students who are pursuing a business degree. Those students who have achieved junior status (60+ credits) and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 may request admission into the Master’s program. Once admitted to the Master’s program, the student takes a combination of undergraduate courses and graduate courses during the fourth year. Two graduate level courses (BU 520 Advanced Business Strategy and BU 537 Financial Management OR BU 525 Advanced Auditing) can be taken during the fourth year. BU 420 Ethical Business Strategy and BU 337 Principles of Finance or BU 325 Auditing core business undergraduate courses, respectively, required for a Bachelor’s degree in the School of Business and Computer Science will be substituted with the applicable upper level graduate courses. These six credits for graduate-level courses may fulfill both the 120 credit hours required for a bachelor’s degree and fulfill 6 credits worth of the MBA program requirements. Upon completion of the bachelor’s degree, the student will exclusively complete the remaining 27 credits of MBA required coursework.
