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.
