Earn an Undergraduate and Graduate Degree in Five Years

Senior undergraduate students in the Rowland School of Business have the option to take two core classes from one of our master's programs, enabling them 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 to get a jump-start on their graduate studies.
