BSBA Marketing-Management / MS-Integrative Health and Wellness
The BSBA to MS-IHW Accelerated program provides an efficient progression to complete the BSBA in Marketing and Management and the Master of Science in Integrative Health and Wellness in an accelerated time. The program enables undergraduate students to begin taking MS-IHW coursework during their final undergraduate year (i.e., 4th year) in order to complete their master’s degree at the conclusion of their 5th year. Students in the BSBA: Management program may apply up to 12 credit hours of MS-IHW coursework to both their BSBA degree (as electives) and to the MS-IHW master’s degree.
Students in the BSBA to MS-IHW Accelerated program will enroll in 12 graduate credit hours during their final two to four semesters as a BSBA undergraduate within the MS-IHW program. (For illustrative purposes, the table below provides an example of the timing of these courses.) In conjunction with entering the IHW program, students will be required to complete GRD 600 Orientation to Creighton, an online on-boarding class for all Creighton graduate students. Students will then enroll in three credit hours of master’s level coursework per semester during their final two to four semesters as a Creighton undergraduate. All of these credit hours apply to the requirements of the MS-IHW degree and serve as electives for the BSBA major.
