Krannert BS / MBA Combined Degree Program ("3+2" Program)

The scope of the program

 

Are you an exceptional student who plans ahead?  One looking to jump start a career before it even begins?  One who wants to make the most efficient and effective use of your time at Krannert?  If so--and if you have a minimum 3.70 GPA and will complete a minimum of 94 credit hours by the end of your junior year--the 3+2 program might just be for you. 

This combined degree program allows advanced management students to earn both a BS degree and an MBA with only five years of study.  Qualified Krannert students in the School of Management will take three years of undergraduate coursework and two years of graduate classes.  The graduate studies satisfy the remainder of the undergraduate requirements as well as the requirements for the MBA.  

The program is challenging, but rewarding.  It also opens up a number of other opportunities for advancement, from study abroad programs to leadership forums.  Students who qualify will be invited to a call-out either in the fall (juniors) or spring (sophomores) to learn more about the program.

You can earn both a Krannert undergraduate and MBA degree in five years! 

Students interested in 3+2 who meet grade requirements will be invited to a call-out: juniors in the fall, sophomores in the spring.
