<p>What are some of the top programs offering an accelerated Undergrad + MBA Program? Are there any that can be done in 4 years if you have substantial AP Credit? The only 5 year program I can think of is the one at WUSTL.. I am especially interested in Emory and Georgetown however I dont believe either of these offer even a 5 year program.. Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>It’s a terrible option. Think about how well you’ll interview as a newly minted MBA with no substantial work experience. Meanwhile, every other MBA student has 3-5 years of experience working in consulting, banking, or industry. And consider that you’ll have too much education to qualify for the traditional BBA positions.</p>
<p>So too much education for some jobs, not enough experience for others. It’s a no man’s land.</p>
<p>the reason why 99.999% of respectable business schools don’t offer them is…well…exactly what Banjo said</p>
<p>thanks for the responses, I had not thought about the too much education not enough experience paradox!</p>
<p>Get your BBA, find a nice firm willing to pay for your MBA, then go back in three years. That’s a free MBA from a better school than you can get into now, and you’ll have plenty of money in your pocket when pursuing that MBA.</p>
<p>IU Kelley School of Business is a top ten rated (per The Public Accounting Report and US News) graduate program in accounting, and they offer a 3/2 program that you could do in four years if you come in with enough of the right credits as a freshman.</p>
<p>Yeah, I haven’t seen many accelerated MBA programs but alot of top b-schools do offer accelerated MS degrees. 4+1 programs that can actually take 3+1 if you enter with enough AP or dual enrollment credits. Most of the time, it’s your choice of an undergrad major with a MS in either Accounting or Finance though.</p>
<p>Accounting is different than non-accounting majors because of the CPA requirement. At least in every state I’ve worked in, you need a number of hours (something like 15) beyond a BS to become a CPA. So it’s very common for students to go direct to a master’s program to earn those hours.</p>
