Early Admittance

Get a Head Start on Your Graduate Degree — While Completing Your Undergraduate Studies

The Early Admittance Program is an exciting opportunity for undergraduate students across the university — regardless of major — to begin their graduate journey before earning their bachelor’s degree.

Through this dual enrollment option, eligible undergraduate students with at least 75 hours and a 3.0 GPA can take up to three graduate level courses that count toward both their undergraduate and future MSM degree. This means you’ll save time and money while gaining valuable business knowledge and leadership experience that applies to any career path.

Program Highlights

  • Open to All Majors – Students from all disciplines are welcome.
  • Take 3 Graduate Level Courses Early – Earn credit that counts for both your undergraduate and graduate degrees.
  • Save Time & Tuition – Get a head start on your MSM with fewer courses to complete after graduation.
  • 100% Online & 8-Week Courses – Fit graduate-level work into your current schedule.
  • No Commitment Required – Taking part in the Early Admit Program does not obligate you to complete the full MSM but gives you a strong foundation to finish when you are ready.
