Fast Track Combined BA/MBA Program

This dual-degree program leading to a master of business administration is designed for outstanding students outside of the School of Business. The program enables students from a wide variety of disciplines to add a core of business knowledge to their academic portfolio.

Students with appropriate prerequisite knowledge may take courses toward an MBA during the senior year and complete their MBA in one year beyond the bachelor's degree. Interested students must apply for admission to the BA/MBA program during the last semester of the junior year using a special application form available in the School of Business. Admission into the combined program is competitive. Only students who have earned at least 75 credits at Quinnipiac with an overall GPA of 3.0 are considered.

It is recommended that students interested in the Fast Track BA/MBA program take the following undergraduate courses or equivalents early in their undergraduate program. These will prepare students for the recommended MBA classes during their senior year.

AC 101 Financial Accounting (3 credits)
EC 111 Microeconomics (3 credits) or EC 112 Macroeconomics (3 credits)
EC 271 Applied Statistical Methods (or equivalent) (3 credits)

Students in the Fast Track program may complete up to 9 credits of graduate courses during their senior
year. These courses also fulfill undergraduate open electives. Students must work with their undergraduate adviser and the MBA director to ensure that the courses fit into both degree programs. Students are officially admitted into the graduate program upon completion of their BA degree.
