By leveraging the synergy between the College of Business Administration (CBA) at Rose Hill and the Graduate School of Business Administration (GBA) at Lincoln Center, you’ll take full advantage of Fordham’s reputation for academic excellence and its Jesuit tradition of helping students realize their full potential. By studying in the business capital of the world, and connecting to a network of Fordham alumni and faculty involved in the city’s top international and domestic firms, you’ll enjoy unparalleled advantages in the marketplace.
How Does the Dual Degree in Business Administration Work?
The Dual Degree constitutes a special kind of honors program. Apply for admission before your BS Degree is completed. A superior grade point average must be maintained and an internship while studying for the bachelor’s degree.
Students receive their baccalaureate degree with the rest of their entering class, while undergraduates apply for graduate status at GBA. Many students with strong academic backgrounds complete the requisite number of credits early, by taking classes during June and July of their fourth years. Those accepted into the graduate program in their fourth year at Fordham can complete both degrees in five years. In some cases, the GBA Office of Admissions might decide that additional professional seasoning will enrich the graduate experience and recommend deferred admission. Similarly, students may choose to postpone their entry into graduate classes. But even if a delay lasts as long as three years, students still can complete their master's with only 30 additional credits.
Students have six years from entry into the graduate program to complete the graduate degree and may choose to study part time under their employer’s sponsorship.
