5-Year Combined BBA/MBA Program

View degree plan.

UMHB Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students are eligible to apply for the combined BBA/MBA program during their junior year.  Admission to the Graduate School is required before enrolling in graduate courses.  The program requires 150 hours and is normally completed in five years. See the Program Director for more information.

Degree Requirements

The combined BBA/MBA allows UMHB students who are currently pursuing a BBA degree to complete their MBA in one additional year beyond what would normally be required for the BBA. Students must meet all requirements for regular admission to the graduate program, including a minimum undergraduate 3.0 GPA. Students must declare their intent and apply to the graduate program in their Junior year in order to complete all requirements within their 5th year. Students will begin taking graduate courses while they are completing their undergraduate courses, and the following undergraduate courses will be waived: BLAW 3311, BMGT 4349, and BSYS 3325. The content of these courses will be covered in appropriate graduate courses. In the event the student does not complete all courses required for the Combined BBA/MBA, they will be required to complete BLAW 3311, BMGT 4349, and BSYS 3325 in order to be awarded their BBA degree. Upon completing all requirements of the Combined BBA/MBA, the student will be awarded both degrees at Commencement.

Combined BBA/MBA in Accounting

The combined BBA/MBA in Accounting contains all necessary coursework to qualify the graduate to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam under the current requirements set forth by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. In addition to the BBA accounting requirements, students must complete all MBA course requirements in the Accounting track.

Students must declare their intent in the spring semester of their Junior year and have completed or be enrolled in BACC 3422 and BACC 3325. Admission to the 5-year Accounting program requires a minimum 3.0 undergraduate GPA overall and a minimum 3.0 GPA in all Accounting Courses.
