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.
