MBA/BA (Computer Science) Program MBA/JD Concurrent Degree
The College of Business and Administration in conjunction with the College of Science offers a five-year integrated M.B.A./B.A. (Computer Science) Program. Selected students will be admitted to this program directly after high school. Their admission to the M.B.A. is guaranteed as long as they maintain a 3.0 GPA in the B.A. in Computer Science. However, they will be required to take the GMAT test prior to admission to the M.B.A. Program.
The College of Business and Administration and the School of Law, together, offer the M.B.A./J.D. concurrent degree program. The J.D. degree alone requires completion of 90 semester hours of course work and the M.B.A. degree alone requires completion of 33 semester hours of course work; however, in the M.B.A./J.D. concurrent degree program the School of Law accepts 9 semester hours of business course work toward meeting the J.D. semester hour requirement and the College of Business and Administration accepts 9 semester hours of law toward meeting the M.B.A. semester hour requirement. The end result is that the concurrent degree program actually entails completion of 81 semester hours of law courses and 24 semester hours of business courses, with an 18-semester hour saving over pursuing both degrees separately outside of the M.B.A./J.D. concurrent degree program.

The M.B.A. degree requires completion of 33 semester hours of course work; the M.A. with a major in mass communication and media arts requires the completion of 30 semester hours of course work. In the concurrent M.A. in mass communication and media arts/M.B.A. degree program, the College of Business and Administration accepts 6 semester hours of MCMA approved course work, and MCMA accepts 6 semester hours of College of Business and Administration approved course work. The end result is that the concurrent degree program entails completion of 27 semester hours of College of Business and Administration approved courses and 24 semester hours of MCMA approved courses, for a total of 51 hours; this is a saving of 12 semester hours over pursuing both degrees separately outside of the M.A. in mass communication and media arts/M.B.A. concurrent degree program.

In the concurrent M.B.A./M.S. degree program, the College of Business and Administration accepts 6 semester hours of ABE approved course work, and ABE accepts 6 semester hours of College of Business and Administration approved course work. The end result is that the concurrent degree program entails completion of 27 semester hours of College of Business and Administration approved courses and 24 semester hours of ABE approved courses, for a total of 51 hours; this is a savings of 12 semester hours over pursuing both degrees separately outside of the M.B.A./M.S. concurrent degree program.
