The Advanced Standing in Business Analytics (ASBA) program allows high-achieving undergraduate students to begin the Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) while completing their undergraduate degree requirements.
Students enrolled in this program take four graduate classes during their undergraduate years that count toward both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students complete the remaining six MSBA degree course requirements as graduate students registered in the MSBA program. No more than four graduate courses may be completed while the student is enrolled as an undergraduate.
Program Requirements
Applications are submitted during sophomore year and overlap courses typically begin junior year. The program is available for any Bentley major. A minimum cumulative 3.3 GPA and completion of MA 214 with grade B or better are required for eligibility.
