Business Administration (BBA-MBA)

MoreIn4 will accept, through a competitive selection process, 20 students each year. The minimum entry requirements are: 3.75 high school core GPA or 28 ACT and at least nine hours of dual/AP/IB high school credit. Eligible students will be invited to submit an application for consideration of admission. Students will complete the Bloch School B.B.A. or B.S.A. program and continue into the Bloch School graduate program of their choice and are expected to do so in approximately 4 years. In addition to an accelerated undergraduate program of study, 6-9 credit hours from a student’s B.B.A. or B.S.A. degree program will be applied toward the Master’s degree. In each fall semester of the three undergraduate years, a special section of one required course will be restricted to the corresponding MoreIn4 cohort to allow for enhanced/experiential programming. Students are also expected to complete two summer internships during their undergraduate studies. During the final undergraduate year, students will apply for admission to the Bloch Master's program of their choosing. The graduate program admission requirements in place at the time of application will be applied.
