B.B.A./M.B.A. Program
Current Loyola Undergraduate Students
Loyola B.B.A. students interested in entering directly to the M.B.A. should complete the following steps:
Loyola Senior Year, Fall Semester- Apply directly to the M.B.A. degree program. Loyola B.B.A. students with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 with at least 64 credit hours at Loyola don't need to take the GMAT. Other Loyola B.B.A. students are also eligible for the five-year program, but they must take the GMAT as part of their application to the program; normal admission criteria will apply.
- Upon admission to the M.B.A. program, register with the Business Career Center and meet with the Internship Coordinator to begin the process of finding an internship.
- Take the following two M.B.A. classes, which count toward both the undergraduate major and the M.B.A.:
- One graduate elective in the field of the undergraduate major
- One core M.B.A. course
- Complete all other requirements for the B.B.A.
- Obtain a summer internship and register for three hours of graduate internship credit in the M.B.A. summer quarter immediately following the senior year.
