The SOU School of Business has launched a new, accelerated option for its MBA program that will enable eligible students to earn both bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in business administration in as little as four years, and save time and money on their educational pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity for high-achieving undergraduate students to fast-track their academic experiences and get a head start on their careers,\u201d said Rene Ordonez, coordinator of SOU\u2019s graduate programs in business. \u201cParticipants will graduate and enter the workforce as holders of full bachelor\u2019s degrees and MBAs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Accelerated MBA program offers a \u201c3+1\u201d option for students participating in SOU\u2019s existing, three-year undergraduate programs \u2013 the Accelerated Baccalaureate (AccBacc)<\/a>  or the Jackson\/Josephine Pledge (JackJo)<\/a>. Students with \u201csuperior\u201d GPA or standardized test scores are eligible for the Accelerated Baccalaureate program, and the JackJo Pledge program is available for graduates from Jackson or Josephine county high schools who meet other specific academic requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students from those programs can choose the \u201c3+1\u201d option to earn both their bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in four years, taking some graduate-level elective courses during their first three years and finishing SOU\u2019s Evening MBA program<\/a> with required, core classes during a fourth year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will reduce their time in school and take advantage of lower tuition by taking some graduate-level classes as undergrads, potentially saving as much as $20,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new, accelerated program also offers an option for students in traditional, four-year undergraduate programs who are earning at least a 3.0 GPA by the start of their senior year. Students choosing the \u201c4+1\u201d option will complete bachelor\u2019s degree requirements and simultaneously begin MBA coursework during their fourth year, then will finish the remaining core classes for their MBA during a fifth year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants choosing either the \u201c3+1\u201d or the \u201c4+1\u201d option will also benefit academically from being part of a professional cohort, and may also qualify for financial aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is imperative for the student to work closely with his\/her undergraduate faculty advisor and the MBA program advisor during their participation in the program in order to optimize the financial and completion-time benefits accorded by the program,\u201d Ordonez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
