The combined BA/MBA or BS/MBA program offers early admission to ODU's MBA curriculum. This accelerated pathway enables high-achieving non-business undergraduates to begin their graduate studies before finishing their bachelor's degree. Eligible students can enroll in MBA courses as soon as three terms before graduation, applying up to 12 graduate credits toward their undergraduate requirements. Participants must complete at least 150 total credit hours (120 for the bachelor's degree and 30 for the master's). Those considering this option should thoughtfully evaluate how it aligns with their undergraduate program needs. Early-entry students collaborate closely with the MBA Program Office and should review the Strome College of Business guidelines in the graduate catalog to create a personalized academic plan that fulfills all degree requirements.
