The Accelerated MBA Program
with Rochester Institute of Technology
St. Lawrence University and Rochester Institute of Technology
(RIT) College of Business have established an agreement which allows
qualified St. Lawrence University students who have earned a Bachelor’s
degree to accelerate their progress through the Rochester Institute
of Technology College of Business MBA program. Waiver of selected MBA
common body of knowledge courses is granted based upon completion of
certain undergraduate courses. Students may be able to complete the
MBA program in as few as four or five academic quarters.
Applicants should demonstrate an overall strong potential
for success in graduate business study based on their GMAT scores and
their undergraduate academic performance. Other aspects of the agreement
include:
- A maximum of 6 MBA foundation courses may be waived for a period
of up to 5 years from the time the undergraduate course was completed.
- Only those courses in which a student earns a B (3.0)
or better will qualify towards waiver credit.
- Students must submit an application for admission into the
MBA program. Minimum GMAT scores and GPA, as specified by RIT,
are required.
- A waiver for the Statistical Analysis for Decision Making
graduate course is contingent upon the student passing the statistics
portion of the graduate math diagnostic test which is administered
during graduate orientation. (**)
Advising of students in this agreement will be undertaken by faculty
members of St Lawrence University and RIT College of Business, working
on a collaborative basis.
