The Bachelor of Business Administration/Master of Science in Applied Finance (BBA/MSAF) joint program is designed for undergraduate students who want to pursue a MSAF degree early in their education. The BBA/MSAF program allows qualified undergraduate BBA students to complete both degrees with up to 9 fewer credits than if the two degrees were pursued separately. Specifically, the program waives 9 undergraduate credit hours based on substitution with corresponding graduate MSAF courses. Students should apply in their junior or senior year. Upon completion of the requirements for the BBA portion of the program, the student is awarded the BBA degree. Upon completion of the remaining 21 credits in the MSAF program, the student is awarded the MSAF degree. This bridging program is designed to allow students to move to study for a PhD or to start their future careers swiftly.
