The Psychology BA/MBA program is a multi-disciplinary program offered jointly by the Department of Psychology and the School of Business, and is designed to prepare Oswego psychology graduates for careers in business. At the conclusion of the program, the student will receive a BA in Psychology, a minor in Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration degree.

Admission

Students who have completed 30 hours of college credit can apply to transfer into the undergraduate portion of the program if they have a minimum G.P.A. of 3.3/4.0.

Students with a cumulative G.P.A. below 3.0/4.0 for two semesters will be discontinued from the combined degree track and transferred into the regular BA Psychology 4-year program and the Business Administration minor program. Applicants must receive a minimum score of 500 on the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT).
