Are you an undergraduate student wishing to significantly increase your earning potential and gain a competitive advantage in the job market? MNU can help prepare you with only 1 additional year of study.
About the Program
Rather than spending 4 years working on your bachelor’s degree and another 2 years working on an MBA, plan early and begin taking MBA courses in your undergraduate senior year at MNU. This is a fast track option for a variety of majors—not just business majors—who are achievement oriented and want to interact with managers who are already in the corporate world. Declare early to ensure your success.
YOU WILL LEARN
At MNU, our MBA program emphasizes ethical business values which are the foundation of the program. Special courses hone specific skills in project management, finance, and strategy. You'll pursue your undergraduate courses for the first 3 years. If you are within the final thirty (30) credit hours needed to graduate, you will be permitted to complete two (2) graduate courses* for dual credit, totaling no more than six (6) credit hours which can then be applied towards your major or minor in Accounting or Business, and counted as upper-division elective hours. In order to complete the MBA in one year, you'll need to take 2 courses (on-site or online) concurrently with your undergraduate coursework.
WE PREPARE YOU
By completing the 4+1 MBA Program you not only save 1 year of graduate tuition, but you also potentially gain an additional year of a more lucrative MBA-level salary. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, people with an MBA make an average of $11,000 more a year than those with just a bachelor’s degree.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
- Guaranteed acceptance for juniors with a 3.5 GPA* and 96 college credit hours.
- For students with GPAs of 3.00 – 3.49, conditional acceptance also requires a faculty recommendation.
