Students who pursue the 4-Year B.S./MBA in Finance build a rigorous foundation in financial theory and practice alongside the strategic and managerial perspectives of an MBA—all within four years. The curriculum develops expertise in financial analysis, corporate finance, investment analysis, risk management, and quantitative decision-making, while the MBA component cultivates leadership, strategic thinking, and organizational management skills increasingly valued by employers. Students gain hands-on exposure through applied coursework, an internship experience, and a cohort-based learning environment that encourages collaboration and peer mentorship. By earning both degrees in an accelerated timeframe, graduates enter the workforce with a competitive edge—holding an advanced credential that many of their peers will spend additional years pursuing after completing their undergraduate degree.
This is a selective program open to currently enrolled students who maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher. Students must apply no later than the end of their fall semester of freshmen year. Those who choose not to complete the MBA portion, or who do not meet continuation requirements, have the option to graduate with a BSBA in Finance. The program is administered by the Finance and Analytics Department.
