Joint Baccalaureate MBA Program
Earn Two Degrees in Five Years
The Freeman School of Business at Tulane University offers early admission to the Full-Time MBA program only to Newcomb Tulane College students.
If admitted, Newcomb Tulane College students enroll as full-time business students during what would otherwise be their senior year. At the successful conclusion of their senior year, the BA or BS is awarded. After one more year of full-time study in the business school, the MBA is awarded.
Admissions
At Freeman, you’ll receive personal attention throughout the admissions process and beyond. Our admissions team will provide individual feedback to determine which course of study is the best fit for you, and we’ll counsel you on how to put forth your strongest application.
For applicants accepted to the five-year MBA, undergraduate tuition and financial aid packages apply during the fourth year at Tulane what would otherwise be their senior year. Applicants are evaluated for MBA scholarship awards, which would apply for the fifth year only.

Eligibility Requirements
Qualified undergraduates of Newcomb Tulane College may apply for admission to the MBA program during their junior year.
Students will be considered NTC undergraduates for their first four years, during which they will be charged undergraduate tuition and all undergraduate financial aid will apply. If you receive financial aid, your awards can be used towards your first year of MBA courses. It is your responsibility to ensure that all deadlines for necessary financial aid applications set by the Office of Financial Aid are met. In the fifth year, students will be considered graduate students at the Freeman School, and MBA scholarship awards will apply.
