The Lewis University Bachelor/MBA FastTrack degree option program allows qualified College of Business majors to complete their undergraduate and graduate business degree programs in less time than would be possible if taken separately. Students can apply for admission to the FastTrack option by submitting a letter of intention to the Graduate School of Management (attn. Director of Admissions) PRIOR to the semester in which they will graduate. Most Bachelor/MBA FastTrack students can complete the MBA degree in two years or less.
