Students interested in applying for the BA/MBA should do advance planning with their Willamette College academic advisor, consult with the BA/MBA advisor liaison Jessica Cardinal Lanier to go over their degree audit, and talk with the MBA admission office about their interests.
Willamette College generally requires BA/MBA applicants to have completed at least 92 credits at Willamette (32 credits for transfer students*) and have no more than two required Willamette College courses (major or general education requirements) remaining by the end of the junior year.
*Transfer students are encouraged to meet with Jessica Cardinal Lanier to
determine the feasibility of completing the BA/MBA based on their individual
circumstance.
The remaining elective credits needed to complete the Bachelor degree will be earned through MBA coursework during the senior year.
