Students require a minimum of 120 credits to obtain the undergraduate degree. More credits will be required in order to satisfy undergraduate degree requirements if University Core Curriculum courses are not able to be double-counted.

Applicants must meet the University’s general entrance requirements. To be considered for the 5-Year B.S.B.A./MBA Program, you must achieve:

• a high school minimum average GPA of 3.25
• maintain at least a minimum average GPA of 3.25 to remain in the program
• no entrance exams or separate requirements are needed to enter the graduate phase of the program.

The MBA is designed to accommodate the career needs of professionals across a wide variety of work organizations: business, health care, industrial, educational, and governmental. The MBA Program is fully accredited by AACSB - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Organized in 1916, AACSB is the premier accrediting agency for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting.

The College offers a minor in Business for students majoring outside the College of Business Administration. This provides an in-depth introduction to business with 21 credits in Accounting, Business, and Economics. See the Business Minor Program page.

Some classes are specifically designed for the non-business student, for example, BUS 1500 Introduction to Business and BUS 2900 Personal Finance. Non-business students may take any of the accounting and business courses that are offered as part of the Business minor or incorporated into other minors within the University as long as they meet the course prerequisites. For example, the Leadership, Actuarial Science, and Entrepreneurship minors are interdisciplinary minors that include business class options. Non-business students interested in other College of Business Administration courses should contact the office to discuss their interests.

The College reserves the right to add or delete course offerings and to redesign the program.

Students in the 5-year Accounting program participate in an experiential education program. Students are required to complete two internship or cooperative education assignments. These are generally completed during the summers after the junior and senior years. A mentor from the business community will assist and guide each student in career planning and development. This mentoring will supplement the academic advising provided by the College of Business Administration and the many services provided by the University's Center for Career & Professional Development. In recent assignments, students have worked with Chrysler, Deloitte & Touche, DTE, Ernst & Young, Ford, Plante Moran, Quicken Loans, and other firms.

Students in the 5-year Accounting program are required to participate in an international experience.
