Accelerated Bachelor's/Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program
UIndy offers an accelerated Bachelor's/MBA program that allows students to complete the requirements for both a bachelor's degree and an MBA (Master of Business Administration) in as little as five years.
How Does it Work?
In this program, you will take graduate and undergraduate classes at the same time, substituting some required undergraduate classes with MBA classes in order to complete the course sequence in five years. The program may take longer than five years if you choose not to follow the recommended course sequence.
Typically, you will first complete all the undergraduate requirements, graduate with a bachelor's degree and then complete the graduate requirements to receive the MBA. In order to complete the MBA program, at least 30 of your total credit hours must be from graduate business classes, and at least 15 of those credit hours must be taken after completing your bachelor's degree. You also can take additional graduate courses to complete an MBA major.
Admission Requirements
Freshmen and transfer students follow the normal procedures for applying to UIndy. Undergraduate business students can then apply to the MBA program beginning in the sophomore year, though you also can apply in your junior or senior year.
Tuition for the BS/MBA Program
All classes taken prior to completing the bachelor's degree are billed at the undergraduate tuition rate. All classes taken after completing the bachelor's degree are billed at the graduate tuition rate.
Format
The accelerated MBA is a mixture of traditional classroom and hybrid courses.
The Best of Both Worlds
Evansville native Collin Brown ‘24 ‘25 (Finance, MBA) was determined to use his college years not only to gain a top-tier education, but also to develop as much professional experience as possible through real-world opportunities. As part of UIndy’s accelerated MBA program, Collin was required to complete an internship in his field of finance. With so many opportunities at his fingertips, Collin knew he needed to take his time, do his research, and find the right fit for him. That’s when he learned about the Indiana Senate Republican Caucus Internship Program.
