BSBA (Management or Marketing) / MS-Negotiation and Conflict Resolution
The Accelerated BSBA (MGT or MKT) / MS-NCR Accelerated program provides an efficient progression to complete the BSBA in Management or Marketing and the Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (NCR) in approximately five years. The program enables undergraduate students to begin taking NCR coursework during their final undergraduate year in order to complete their master's degree at the conclusion of their final year. Students in either the BSBA: Management or BSBA: Marketing programs may apply up to 9 credit hours of NCR coursework to both their BSBA degree (as electives) and to the NCR master's degree.
Students in the BSBA to MS-NCR Accelerated program will enroll in 9 graduate credit hours during their final two to four semesters as a BSBA undergraduate within the NCR program. (For illustrative purposes, the table below provides an example of the timing of these courses.) In conjunction with entering the NCR program, students will be required to complete GRD 600, an online on-boarding class for all Creighton graduate students. All of these credit hours apply to the requirements of the NCR degree and serve as electives for the BSBA major.
