The BA/MBA program is a great investment in your future. Completing the BA/MBA program accelerates your career entry into professional positions, provides increased salary opportunities earlier in your career, and saves a year of educational and living expenses because you complete your BA and MBA degrees in just five years of education rather than six.
Tuition & Financial Aid
For accelerated programs such as the BA/MBA, students continue to receive all undergraduate financial aid options, including merit scholarships, for the first eight semesters and are charged at the undergraduate tuition rate. After the eight semester, students are then considered graduate students and are charged at the corresponding graduate program rate, but can also access graduate-level finance opportunities, along with graduate merit scholarships.
Scholarships:
- BA/MBA applicants are automatically considered for Willamette MBA merit-based scholarships.
- MBA scholarships are merit-based and awarded according to the policies of the Willamette MBA program.
- MBA scholarships consider the applicant's undergraduate performance, leadership, GMAT or GRE test scores, etc.
- BA/MBA students do not receive the undergraduate Willamette University scholarships or grants previously awarded from Willamette University.
Federal Loans:
- Eligibility for federal direct educational loans for BA/MBA students is based on federal policies governing financial aid for graduate students.
- BA/MBA students who are a U.S. citizen or permanent residents are generally eligible to fully cover estimated living and educational expenses through the Federal Direct Stafford Loan and the Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan programs.
