For students interested in pursuing the five-year dual-degree B.S./M.B.A program, these elective credits can be filled by Graduate-Level business courses that count toward the M.B.A. The M.B.A. requires 54 credit hours of graduate coursework in business. Students must complete the GMAT satisfactorily and be accepted into the Graduate School of Business at the end of their junior year. In their senior year, students begin to take courses toward the M.B.A. degree. Students complete the degree requirements for and receive a B.S. in environmental sciences in their fourth year, then continue in their fifth year to complete the M.B.A. Students are advised to contact the Graduate School of Business for M.B.A. requirements and calendar. Note: Courses in the Graduate School of Business are on the quarter system.
