Two Degrees, Less Time
Why wait six years for what you can do in five? The Dean’s Scholar program is a 4+1 track that allows Rockhurst students who complete program prerequisites to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years (four years for undergraduate, one year for graduate).
The Rockhurst Dean’s Scholars provides eligible students:
- A 4+1 program to earn their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in only 5 years.
- Acceptance into the College of Business and Technology graduate programs as a freshman.
- Resume assistance with internships and international experiences.
- Coaching and mentoring from an experienced Executive-in-Residence.
- Special distinction with honor cords at graduation.
Early Acceptance
Normally, you have to apply for admission to grad school – not as a Dean’s Scholar! Acceptance to this program provides automatic admission to the Helzberg School of Management Graduate Business Program as a freshman!
Students are required to maintain minimum GPA requirements and complete program benchmarks as undergraduates to stay in the program and keep their automatic admission to grad school, but since Dean’s Scholars are already pretty awesome academically, we’re confident you’ll be just fine!
Dean's Scholar Program Options
At the end of your journey, you will earn two degrees from one of the most prestigious universities in the region. Rockhurst University prepares future leaders through a traditional Jesuit education with programs ranked in the Top-15 nationally in their respective fields.
For this program, you can combine any two of these undergraduate and graduate degrees:
