<p>Does anyone know anything about the program where i can get my undergrad and graduate degree in business in 5 consecutive years rather than 4 for undergrad and then 2 for grad school? I have heard it is an accelerated program offered, but does anyone have any info on how you get into that? Any information would be great! Thanks!</p>
<p>It’s called the progressive degree program, but not all colleges nor majors at USC offer it. I scoured the catalog and could not find any reference to it under the degrees offered in the Business school. I really kind of doubt the offer it, because Marshall requires the GMAT test for admittance, and with most progressive degree programs taking the GRE is waived.</p>
<p>OK, I found the list of progressive degree programs and Business is NOT listed</p>
<p><a href=“http://college.usc.edu/progressive-degree-programs/[/url]”>http://college.usc.edu/progressive-degree-programs/</a></p>
<p>general info for the progressive degree program is about half way down this page
[USC</a> Catalogue: Graduate and Professional Education: Requirements for Graduation](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2008/graduate/grad_req.html]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/cat2008/graduate/grad_req.html)</p>
<p>doesn’t mba usually require work experience?</p>
<p>It dramatically helps your chances, especially at the top programs but its not required.</p>
<p>hmm that’s strange that business isn’t listed, because my roommate’s sister is in the progressive program for business currently. i’ll just have to call the department i guess</p>
<p>are you sure its not for accounting? they have a 5 year program for accounting, not business</p>
<p>After searching through Marshall literature I was unable to find a five year program, except in accounting. Here is what Marshall wrote about the Progressive Accounting Degree.</p>
<p>Leventhal offers an honors program to strong undergraduate accounting students to pursue and complete a master degree: MAcc or MBT, while completing requirements for the bachelor’s degree. This is particularly beneficial for merit scholars with 32 AP or college credits as entering freshman.</p>
<ol>
<li> This program allows students to complete more than 150 units required by most states to be qualified to sit for the CPA exam.</li>
<li> For the first 8 semesters students will receive the FA package, even though they are enrolled in graduate level courses.</li>
</ol>
<p>This degree is for high achieving, articulate and mature students with demonstrated leadership skill, inside and outside the classrooom.</p>
