Program

Students can earn two degrees in as little as five years – saving time and money in the process! Siena Heights University’s Accelerated Bachelor’s to MBA Program is available to students on the Adrian campus. Students accepted to the program are eligible to take up to three MBA courses as part of their undergraduate program – at the undergraduate tuition rate!

Unlike many other programs, SHU’s is open to students in many different majors, including nursing, engineering, the sciences and humanities. Undergraduate students in any major are eligible who have completed foundational courses with a 2.5 or higher GPA in the following subject areas:

• Accounting
• Statistics
• Finance
• Micro- and macro-economics

If foundational courses have not been completed, MBA leveling via Peregrine modules in these subject areas will be required. (Peregrine leveling modules are not classes; they are assessments and are not for credit and can be completed sooner and are less expensive).
