+1 MBA for Current RIT Students

Get Two Degrees.
Maximize your earning potential with a +1 MBA

Undergraduate students can earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in one year after completing an undergraduate degree. The accelerated +1 MBA program allows you to waive core MBA courses by taking specified undergraduate business courses: a "B" grade or better to receive the MBA course waivers.

An +1 MBA degree allows you to graduate sooner, saving on tuition while preparing you with the qualifications needed to pursue higher-level and higher-paying positions.

Additional Details

+1 MBA Pathways

There are two ways to enroll in the +1 MBA:

First-year students – Outstanding undergraduate applicants may be offered conditional early acceptance to the +1 MBA program from designated undergraduate degree programs, as incoming first-year students.
Current undergraduate students – RIT students currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree program may apply for conditional admission to a combined accelerated bachelor’s/master’s pathway after their second or third year of study, depending upon their bachelor’s degree program.
