Minor in Management at the College of Arts and Sciences

Students in the College of Arts and Sciences may earn a minor in management. Interested students should contact the Office of Academic Support Programs, McCormack Hall, 3rd floor, room 421.

The 150-Credit Hour Baccalaureate/MBA Program

This program is designed for CAS (College of Arts and Sciences) students who are interested in pursuing careers in management built on a solid foundation of study in a liberal arts discipline. Participants receive the baccalaureate degree (either the BA or the BS) with a major in one of the CAS undergraduate disciplines, and the MBA degree from the College of Management. Those admitted to the program take a total of 96 undergraduate credits and 54 graduate credits for a total of 150 credit hours. This compares to as many as 177 credit hours if the baccalaureate and MBA degrees are pursued sequentially. The program, though carefully structured, is nevertheless flexible enough to accommodate seven or eight undergraduate elective courses. CAS students should apply to the program after they have completed at least 60 CAS credits. Information about the program is available from the Office of Academic Support Programs, McCormack Hall, 3rd floor, room 421.
