  • HR 525 - Leading People, Managing Change 
  • MB 500 - Business and Organizational Dynamics 

The course listed below is only eligible in the Fast Track for students who wish to enter the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Leadership concentration:

  • MK 500 - Strategic Marketing 

This option is available to online and on-campus business students. 

Admissions Requirements


The option to take graduate courses within the undergraduate program is intended only for active students in the online and campus business programs.

Enrolling in Graduate Courses

Undergraduate students are allowed to enroll in the designated graduate courses, taking one or two graduate courses in consultation with their academic advisors, provided the following admission requirements are met: 

  • Completion of all general education requirements.
  • Completion of ninety (90) credits in the current program of study.
  • A minimum GPA of 3.0.

Starting the Graduate Program

Bachelor degreed students are officially admitted into the MBA upon:

  • Submission of the 750 word self-assessment essay
  • Submission of proof of an undergraduate degree

Campus undergraduate students in their final semester may apply to the Master of Business Administration program. These applicants may be conditionally accepted, pending submission of their final transcript, with conferral date, for their undergraduate degree.

Graduation


The Master of Business Administration courses simply substitute for the undergraduate courses, so students will graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in their program upon completing all requirements. Students then enroll in the Master of Business Administration with up to two graduate courses already taken.
