Qualified undergraduate students may elect to enroll in a dual-degree program, combining their undergraduate bachelor’s degree in Mathematics (B.A. or B.S.) with a Master of Business Administration or a Master of Science in Finance. Students admitted to either graduate-level program must complete a minimum of 115 semester hours of undergraduate course work and may substitute up to nine semester hours of graduate-level course work for an equal number of semester hours of undergraduate course work toward the completion of their bachelor’s degree.
