Program Overview
A Dual Admission program in business is available to qualified freshman and transfer students, allowing them to complete the combined bachelor’s and master’s degrees in a total of a five-and-a-half-year (4+1.5) period. Within the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, students may complete a variety of master’s degrees.

Full-time M.B.A. students can achieve a master's degree within 12 to 21 months. Working professionals can complete the master’s degree in 18 to 21 months. Students can enjoy the flexibility of either online classes or evening classes. Master’s courses are taught by faculty with real-world experience and doctoral degrees in their fields of study.
Available M.B.A. Majors:
Business (Flex) • Business Intelligence/Analytics • Complex Health Systems • Entrepreneurship • Finance • Human Resource Management • International Business • Management • Marketing • Process Improvement • Sport Revenue Generation • Supply Chain Management and Operational Systems
Eligibility
To be considered for dual admission and fill your reserved seat in graduate or professional
school, there are some requirements you must meet. Undergraduate Admission Requirements are first-time in college students and transfer students applying to earn a bachelor's
degree. Graduate Admission Requirements are the standards students need to maintain, while earning their undergraduate degree,
to remain eligible for the graduate or professional program.
Undergraduate Admission Requirements
Graduate Admission Requirements
Keep your dual admission status while you earn your bachelor’s.
Dual Admission reserves your seat in NSU’s M.B.A. program, but you must still complete a graduate application once you finish your bachelor’s degree.
Keep in mind that these are the basic requirements, and final determination of admission into the professional program is at the discretion of the College of Business and Entrepreneurship.
Additional Requirements
College credits that were earned through advanced high school programs such as AP,
IB or college academy—or in summer coursework following high school graduation, prior
to attending NSU—may transfer to NSU.
Students who enter NSU with earned college credits through advanced high school programs
may be able to complete their degree and program requirements earlier than scheduled
and request to enter their graduate professional programs earlier as well.
Please contact your admissions representative for more details regarding high school transfer credits.
