4PLUS - Undergraduate/Graduate Dual Degree Programs
The 4PLUS undergraduate/graduate dual degree programs allow students in most cases to complete both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in an accelerated format.
The MBA degree is available to students from any undergraduate major who complete the recommended coursework (typically foundation courses) during the final 2-3 semesters of their undergraduate degree, often allowing the MBA to be earned with just one additional year of study.
Some master’s degree programs allow undergraduate students to complete master’s degrees in a shortened time by permitting up to nine (9) credits of graduate coursework to be applied towards both degrees (bachelor’s and master’s). A minimum grade of B in graduate coursework is required for transfer to a graduate program. Current programs available for this option are:
Students should consult with their academic advisor and the graduate program director by their sophomore year for more information and accurate schedule planning. A minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required for consideration into most of the 4PLUS program paths; a cumulative GPA of 3.5 is required for consideration into the 4PLUS Nutrition path.
