Program Overview

The unique feature of this program is that both degrees can be earned in five years. By carefully selecting courses, the student can complete the requirements for both degrees in as few as 150 credit hours. Freshman applicants should consult the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to learn more about the competitive application process by emailing thehall@shu.edu or calling (973) 313-6146. To be eligible to begin graduate coursework (generally after the completion of 90 credits), dual-admissions applicants must have attained a GPA of 3.4 or higher.

Stillman undergraduate students who do not apply for dual admission may apply after completing between 75 and 90 undergraduate credit hours. Applicants must meet all requirements for admission to the M.B.A. program.

The student spends the first three years taking undergraduate courses. After the completion of 75 credit hours, the student applies for the M.B.A. program. Students must meet all requirements for admission to the M.B.A. program including meeting or exceeding one of the following criteria:

  • Obtaining a cumulative college GPA of 3.4 or higher, OR
  • Scoring within the 50th percentile (i.e., 570) or higher in any graduate level standardized test (i.e., GMAT, GRE, LSAT), OR
  • Obtaining a 3.0 GPA or higher AND a score in the 30th percentile (i.e., 500) or higher in any graduate level standardized test (i.e., GMAT, GRE, LSAT)

The fifth year is reserved exclusively for graduate business courses. When the student has completed all undergraduate degree requirements and 120 credit hours, the student receives a bachelor's degree. After completing the M.B.A. requirements and a minimum of 150 total credit hours, the student also receives an M.B.A.

Current Stillman undergraduate students who wish to discuss the application process should contact the Stillman Office of Graduate Admissions by calling (973) 761-9262 or emailing the office at busgrad@shu.edu.
