Start Your MBA in Undergrad
Juniors and seniors of all academic majors at the Catholic University are invited to pursue the 4+1 MBA pathway. The 4+1 pathway will allow students to take MBA courses during their undergraduate studies, reducing the cost of standard tuition and the course load for the MBA by up to 33%.
Undergraduate students may enroll in up to 12 credit hours of approved MBA courses during their junior or senior years. In the fall semester of their senior year, 4+1 students are invited to apply to the MBA program. MBA courses, rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and virtue theory, are designed to rigorously prepare students to thrive in a competitive marketplace.
The MBA comprises 24 credits of core curriculum and 12 credits of a specialization certificate. Only 12 credits from core courses and specialization certificate courses will transfer to the MBA. Blended credits from different specialization certificates will not transfer to the MBA program.
Busch School undergraduates may be able to satisfy undergraduate degree requirements by completing certain 4+1 MBA courses. All students interested in the 4+1 program must schedule an information meeting with the MBA program's Assistant Director.
