Five Year BA/MBA


Corporate communication majors considering getting an MBA degree are encouraged to pursue Dominican University’s BA/MBA program. Rather than 42 hours needed to complete the major, students in the five-year plan simply take the nine foundation courses (27 hours) required for all corporate communication majors plus five of the seven business classes listed below.

Business Sequence
(Choose 5 of 7 courses / 15 hours) Successful completion (B or better) of business sequence courses will result in waivers for the related MBA courses in the Brennan School of Business.

Undergraduate Course(s) Graduate Course Eligible for Waiver

ECON 190 - Principles of Microeconomics 
and
ECON 191 - Principles of Macroeconomics 

GSB 611 Economics for Managers
ACCT 101 - Principles of Accounting I 
and
ACCT 102 - Principles of Accounting II 
GSB 612 Financial Accounting
ECON 260 - Statistics for Business and Economics  GSB 613 Statistics
BAD 350 - Managerial Finance  GSB 615 Financial Management
BAD 240 - Business Law  GSB 617 Business Law

In addition to the waivers listed above, students who have completed CAS 320  or CAS 326  with a grade of B or above will be eligible to have GSB 614 Organizational Behavior waived from the Brennan School’s MBA program.

Acceptance into the BA/MBA program generally requires a 3.0 GPA, and students are encouraged to apply before the end of their junior year. Accepted students may enroll in two MBA courses during their senior year – one course each semester – and credit will be given toward their undergraduate degree. (This can be done at no extra charge if taken within the 18-hour limit for full-time undergraduate tuition.) The remaining ten graduate business courses may be taken upon completion of their undergraduate degree.
