BSBA (MGT or MKT) + MS-Organizational Leadership
The BSBA to MS-ORGL Accelerated 5-year program provides an efficient progression to complete the BSBA in Management or Marketing and the Master of Science in Organizational Leadership in five years. The program enables undergraduate students to begin taking MSOL 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 either the BSBA: Management or BSBA: Marketing programs may apply up to 12 credit hours of MSOL coursework to both their BSBA degree (as electives) and to the MSOL master’s degree.
Students in the BSBA to MS-OL Accelerated 5-year program will enroll in 12 graduate credit hours during their final two to four semesters as a BSBA undergraduate within the MSOL program. (For illustrative purposes, the table below provides an example of the timing of these courses.) In conjunction with entering the MSOL 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 MSOL degree and serve as electives for the BSBA major.
