• 4+1 mba Program 

    A Unique Opportunity

    For high-achieving students who know what they want from their university experience, Ohio Dominican University offers an opportunity to complete both a bachelor's and a master's degree in five academic years. Students who qualify for our unique 4 + 1 degree program may earn a bachelor’s degree and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in five academic years.   

    Ohio Dominican's 4 + 1 MBA program is a campus-based, traditional program for students who welcome being challenged. MBA candidates will develop and integrate their knowledge and understanding of contemporary thinking in management and leadership while strengthening their level of functional business knowledge.  

    Students who enroll in ODU's 4 + 1 MBA program will spend four academic years in undergraduate-level study and then during their senior year, will take graduate-level courses that will meet their undergraduate elective and graduate program requirements (when a B grade or better is achieved). At the end of the fourth year, an undergraduate degree is conferred. Students are then enrolled in graduate school full-time and will complete their degree in one year.

    Ohio Dominican's 4 + 1 MBA program is not for everyone. Students will find it to be a fast-paced and challenging course of study, best suited for those who have been high-level performers in high school and who are committed to demanding study.

    4 + 1 MBA Students Develop:

    • An understanding of moral and ethical values that will uniquely position graduates to lead organizations and individuals in socially responsible ways
    • Career readiness and flexibility in the dynamic, competitive, global business environment
    • The ability to think critically and creatively
    • Experience with the latest computer software applications, including research techniques
    • An appreciation for lifelong learning
