Accelerated Dual Degree Programs in Business Management and Sport Business Management

Manhattanville’s Department of Economics, Finance, and Management (EFM) and the School of Business (MSB) offer two options for full-time undergraduates who wish to combine a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management or a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a Master of Science in Sport Business Management.

The following dual degree programs are available:

1. Business Management BA/ Sport Business Management MS
2. Business Management BS/ Sport Business Management MS

These programs allow students to complete the requirements for an undergraduate and graduate degree at Manhattanville at an accelerated pace. That is, Business Management undergraduate students will be able to complete up to 12 credits in the MS in Sports Business Management program prior to the completion of their undergraduate degree and apply these credits to their graduate degree. This dual degree program offers courses frequently enough for students to complete within 5 years.

Students must have at least 75 earned credits to be accepted into the program. Candidates need an overall GPA of at least 3.3, have taken coursework to provide a strong foundation of business knowledge, and have at least one recommendation from Manhattanville faculty attesting to the student’s preparedness for graduate level study.

All students in the dual degree program must complete MSBM 5001, as it is a prerequisite for all other MSBM course. MSBM 5002 must be completed before taking MSBM 5006. Students must earn a B or better in all MSBM coursework to continue in the program and may take no more than one MSBM course in the first two semesters of their participation in the program. Students may subsequently take up to two MSBM courses per semester.

Undergraduate students who are accepted into the dual degree program would fulfill these electives as well as one additional course (which would count toward the degree, but not the major) via 4 of 5 possible graduate-level courses in the Sports Business Management MS program. Application must include two recommendations from faculty in their undergraduate program.
