Earn an Undergraduate and Graduate Degree in Five Years

Students enrolled in one of the Rowland School of Business undergraduate programs who have completed 90 credits and have a 3.0 GPA have the option to take graduate classes in one of our master's programs. This gives students the ability to earn a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree from the school in as little as five years. This is a valuable opportunity for students interested in continuing their education and increasing their career advancement potential. Getting a head start on a graduate degree gives you an advantage financially and exposes you to higher-level courses and experiences during your undergraduate career.

*To complete the master’s program in one year, students must complete three consecutive semesters of study.
