Accelerated
B.A. in International Studies/M.B.A. in Business Administration (A.I.S. Program)
|
|
Available to freshman, transfer students, and continuing C.W.
Post students
The accelerated program permits the obtaining of these degrees in less
time than is normally required.
I. Undergraduate requirements
A. All students must maintain a grade point average of 3.00 to continue
in the accelerated program.
B. Students must successfully complete all courses required in the International
Studies core with satisfactory grades (normally, a 3.5 average in major courses
is required).
C. Transfer students must have completed 60-64 credits with a grade point
average no lower than B (3.0).
II. Admission to the Graduate Program
A. At the end of the first semester of senior year, all eligible students
are required to sit for either the GMAT or the comprehensive examination
given by the Faculty of Business, Public Administration and Accountancy. Advancement
to matriculation, 600-level courses, and Year 5 of the Program is contingent
upon satisfactory scores on either of these examinations.
B. Upon successful completion of the normal 128 credits required for graduation,
the student will not receive the B.A. degree but will be given 12 credits
of advanced standing in the M.B.S. program. After completing the additional
30 graduate credits (in some cases more credits may be required depending
upon the undergraduate preparation), and meeting all graduate requirements,
the student will be awarded both the B.A. and M.B.A. degrees. If, for any
reason, the student should not go on for the M.B.A. degree, he or she will
be entitled to the B.A. in International Studies upon the successful completion
of the appropriate 128 credits.
C. Students may be eligible to receive waiver of specific core courses
in the M.B.A. program if they have completed certain undergraduate courses
with grades of B or better (i.e., Business minor). Students should consult
with the program academic counselors concerning such waivers.
