Accelerated BA/MBA or BA/MSHCM

Dominican undergraduate students with any major are eligible to apply to the accelerated Master of Business Administration or accelerated Master of Science in Healthcare Management program. 

Undergraduate students admitted to the program are permitted to take up to two graduate-level (600-level or above) courses (up to six credit hours) during the senior year. These courses will count toward the undergraduate degree and will also satisfy MBA or MSHCM requirements for students who matriculate into the graduate program.

In addition, students may receive waivers for the MBA or MSHCM pre-requisites (500-level) courses based upon performance in undergraduate courses. In order to receive a waiver, a student must earn a B or better in the equivalent undergraduate course. Students planning to pursue the MBA or MSHCM are very strongly encouraged to determine what pre-requisite coursework will be required, and to complete the foundation-equivalent courses during their undergraduate studies.

Equivalent courses for the BA/MBA or BA/MSHCM are:

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 applied 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 graduate business courses may be taken upon completion of the undergraduate degree.
