Admission Requirements: Admission to the Combined Program originates at the undergraduate level. Candidates may be
admitted conditionally to the BBA Portion of the program directly from high school. In order to qualify for direct
admission, candidates are required to have a minimum high school average of 90% and a combined SAT score of 1150 or an
equivalent score on the ACT. Students wishing to transfer into the program from another college or university must have
achieved at least a 3.20 GPA at their previous school. All transfer students will be required to fulfill a Pace residency
requirement of at least 32 credits at the undergraduate level. Continuing students applying to change their major to the
Combined Program at the undergraduate level are required to have a minimum 3.20 Pace GPA. One semester prior to the
completion of the undergraduate portion, students apply for admission to the MS program. Admission to the MS program
requires a minimum GPA of 3.20 for all undergraduate work completed at Pace and a minimum score of 520 on the
Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Students will also be required to submit two letters of recommendation.
The final decision on admission to the MS Program will be made by the Lubin Graduate Admissions Committee. This
worksheet is to be used as a guide in planning your registration to ensure proper sequencing of courses. Adjustments in the
recommended course sequencing may be made provided course and class standing prerequisites are satisfied. Students may
take fewer credits per semester and take courses in the summer session.
