English, BA/MBA (4 + 1 Program)

The purpose of this program is to develop a streamlined undergraduate program that will enable English majors to pursue a Master of Business Management and Administration (MBA) degree offered at the School of Business that can be completed within one year (including two summer sessions) after the completion of the Bachelor's degree.

BA/MBA undergraduate English major students must maintain a GPA of at least 2.75 to remain eligible for admission in the MBA Program. Upon the completion of ninety credits, if the 2.75 GPA requirement is not met, students are required to transfer to the non 4 + 1 major in English.

A student cannot begin their MBA graduate studies until they have completed their undergraduate Bachelors studies and have been awarded their undergraduate degree.
