4+1 Undergraduate Path to the Master of Science in Business Analytics

The 4+1 undergraduate path to the Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) program allows qualified undergraduates to begin graduate coursework during their senior year. Students complete up to two MSBA-required courses as undergraduates, then finish the remaining MSBA requirements in approximately one additional year. Undergraduate students can use the two MSBA courses to count towards the overall credit requirement (56 credits at Hamline/128 total credit hours) or major requirements, if applicable. For more details about the benefits of this program and the admission requirements, please contact the School of Business at hsb@hamline.edu.
