B.S. in Human Factors Psychology to Master of Business Administration

This program allows the exceptional student to complete the Bachelor of Science in Human Factors Psychology (BSHFP) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees.

Upon completing the BSHFP requirements, the Bachelor of Science degree in Human Factors Psychology will be conferred, and students will be enrolled in the MBA degree. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of “B” or better must be earned. These credits will count toward the B.S. and MBA degree requirements, provided the student maintains enrollment in the combined program and receives a "B" or better in the courses.

If the student chooses to leave the program before the completion of the MBA program and has acquired the minimal hours required for graduation with the B.S. in Human Factors Psychology, any MBA transition courses used to meet graduation requirements will be noted as undergraduate courses for the purpose of graduation.

Approved Courses for the Combined Option

Students enrolled in the combined option must consult their academic advisor and the MBA program coordinator to determine appropriate course selection. Students will take BA 511, BA 514, and/or BA 520 to replace an equal number of open elective courses up to nine credits in the BSHFP degree.

The Business Administration undergraduate and transition classes recommended in the Suggested Course of Study are taken in place of the open electives within the B.S. in Human Factors Psychology to prepare the student for this degree option. Not following the suggested course of study will require the student to take additional courses to prepare for the MBA.
