Undergraduates can earn a Master of Business Administration with one additional year of graduate study.

 

Our 36-hour MBA curriculum challenges you to strengthen and apply your knowledge in core business areas such as managerial finance, accounting, economics, marketing, and leadership. Our small class sizes allow you to hone your interpersonal, team, and group communication skills while working one-on-one with expert faculty.

 

Our 4+1 program allows you to earn both your undergraduate and MBA degrees in just five years. As a Mount St. Joseph University undergraduate, you can begin taking MBA courses in your senior year and complete your remaining graduate coursework in your fifth year. The 4+1 is open to both students in business related majors as well as other majors who take the foundational courses.  Admission to the program is competitive.
