Rutgers University offers undergraduate students a chance to combine their liberal arts degree with the MBA in Professional Accounting (MBA-PA) graduate program and earn an MBA in Professional Accounting degree with only two additional months of study. It works like this: Students complete their undergraduate core and major requirements during the first three years of their undergraduate college. The fourth year is completed at Rutgers Business School where students are enrolled full-time in the 14 month MBA-PA program. The first two semesters at the graduate school are counted as electives for completion of the baccalaureate degree requirements. These two semesters also are counted towards the MBA degree. The MBA is awarded after two additional semesters at the graduate school.
