Program of Study

Students who graduate from the online B.S. Business Administration with a 3.0 cumulative GPA may seamlessly continue into a River MBA program that can be completed in as little as one additional year. Rivier’s traditional MBA degree is a 36-credit program; however, if you enroll within one year of completing your B.S. in Business Administration degree, you will be considered for the 30-credit MBA program.  (This +1 option does not apply to the MBA in Healthcare Administration program.) The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is offered both online and on campus. The one-year MBA provides advanced knowledge in financial management and addresses marketing and new product development, project management, economic analysis, strategies for innovation, and more.

To be eligible for the +1 program, you must:

  • Complete your Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration
  • Earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0
  • Submit all required application materials to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies Admissions within one year of graduating

The bachelor’s degree requires a minimum of 120 credits. The MBA includes five core business classes, a choice of “two of three” additional required courses, and three electives, which include the option for up to two internships for which you receive course credit.

A Commitment to Quality

Rivier’s undergraduate Business Administration, Management, Finance, and Marketing, and Master of Business Administration programs, are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

Rivier taught me many skills both inside and outside of the classroom that prepared me for my career. I was fortunate to be taught by professors with real-world experience, and they did a great job of conveying that to students.
