English BA to MBA

We are excited to announce a new partnership between the Department of English and the College of Business to produce one of the first accelerated English BA to MBA programs in the country. Beginning in Spring 2023, English majors can enroll in a designated track that will grant them priority admission* to the UofL Master of Business Administration program upon graduation. An English degree is a versatile and valuable asset for a career in business. This new collaboration will provide students with opportunities to develop their communication skills, analytical thinking, research skills, cultural awareness, and creativity, while gaining a deeper understanding of business concepts and practices. We look forward to creating a more connected and innovative learning community.

*Minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA required for MBA admission
