Master of Business Administration Fast Track

The new WLU Fast Track initiative is designed to connect West Liberty University undergraduate degree programs with the WLU MBA graduate program. Undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) students can get a jump start on an MBA by taking up to 4 courses or 12 credit hours as they complete their undergraduate program to complete up to 40% of their 10-course MBA. A savings of both time and money, the Fast Track initiative provides students an attractive and efficient pathway from their bachelor’s degree to a master's degree.
