Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Full-Time Programs


This program is a joint degree in collaboration with the Business Division of Seaver College. Students interested in applying for this program will do so during the junior year of their undergraduate program. The joint degree allows students to earn the MBA in five years inclusive of the completion of 3.5 years of study at the Business Division of Seaver College. A minimum of 49 units is required at the Graziadio School. Students receive both the BS and MBA degrees upon the completion of all requirements for the Joint Five-Year program.

Students take seven semesters of work at Seaver College and four trimesters, beginning in January, at the Graziadio School. Students are required to complete internships during the summer following their junior year at Seaver College and during the following summer (after the first trimester at the Graziadio School).

Students can also apply for the IMBA program, which requires an overseas trimester in the fall of the fifth year. The BS/IMBA internship at the Graziadio School must take place at a global firm and deal with international issues. Study abroad will be completed with a Graziadio School partner university. In addition to a trimester abroad, students are required to complete a one-week Global Study Tour. Tuition for the Global Study Tour is charged at the same rate as that of the full-time programs. Additionally, students are responsible for the program fee, transportation costs, and living expenses. Students who pursue this option are not eligible to graduate with a concentration.

At select partner universities an optional BS/IMBA Dual-Degree program is available for students who meet eligibility requirements. The BS/IMBA Dual- Degree entails a modified curriculum involving an internship overseas and an additional term of study at the partner university for the completion of two degrees: the partner university’s degree as well as the BS/IMBA degree from Pepperdine. The BS/IMBA Dual-Degree extends the length of the BS/IMBA by two trimesters and is approximately an additional trimester and a half of tuition payable to Pepperdine. Pepperdine academic scholarships do not cover the additional terms of study.
