  • Contact your CLA academic advisor and plan your courses to meet the BA/MBA credit and course requirements of your major.
  • Contact the Atkinson School Admission office with your questions.
  • You will find it helpful to have completed at least one course in mathematics, one course in economics, and a course in psychology or sociology
  • Build a background of leadership and experience in organizations through internships, campus/community activities, part-time work, etc.
  • Complete the GMAT or General GRE exam by the end of March of the junior year. Completing the exam by March will provide time to retake the exam if necessary.
  • Complete the application process by May 1st of the Junior year.
  • Recognize the BA/MBA is a challenging and demanding program designed for highly motivated students who have well focused career interests in management.
The program exposed me to the realities of the business world and to the theoretical background needed for analysis and critical thinking. My finance professors were especially diligent at connecting theory to on-the-job applications. – Tina Ko, BA’00, MBA’01, financial analyst, Bonneville Power Administration
