Accelerated Masters Program for Undergraduates
BA in German and MBA in Business Administration

Index to Accelerated Masters Programs

The accelerated program in German/Business Administration provides the opportunity for a student to complete a BA in German (122 hours) within a four-year period and to shorten the time required to finish the MBA.

Interested students should:

• have some Advanced Placement credit upon admission to UNCG in order to reduce the number of required undergraduate hours. See courses for which AP Credit is available.
• identify themselves as potential accelerated candidates early in their academic careers in order to receive appropriate advising. Although formal admission to an accelerated program usually occurs in the junior year, careful selection of undergraduate courses beginning in the freshman year is essential. Interested students should talk with the Department Head in the Department of German and Russian as early as possible.

In the spring of the junior year, students should:

• take the GMAT
• apply for admission to the Graduate School and the MBA program
