Dual Bachelor’s/Master’s degrees are a great way to save time and money and also enhance your career opportunities. Receive your Master’s degree in as little as one year. Eligible students take 12 graduate credits which is applied to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Manhattanville’s Department of Economics, Finance, and Management (EFM) and the School of Professional Studies (SPS) offer two options for full-time undergraduates who wish to combine a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management or a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a Master of Science in Sport Business and Entertainment Management.
The following dual degree programs are available:
- BA Business Management / MS Sport Business and Entertainment Management
- BS Business Management / MS Sport Business and Entertainment Management
In addition to the two options noted above for full-time undergraduate students, adult students can also pursue SPS's Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a Master of Science in Sport Business Management in our adult accelerated program.
These programs allow students to complete the requirements for an undergraduate and graduate degree at Manhattanville at an accelerated pace. That is, Business Management undergraduate students will be able to complete up to 12 credits in the MS in Sports Business Management program prior to the completion of their undergraduate degree and apply these credits to their graduate degree.
As one of the top business schools in Westchester County, The Manhattanville School of Professional Studies is located in Purchase, NY. The School of Professional Studies serves not only locals, but also commuter students from Fairfield County, CT, and the NYC area who are ready to earn their BA/BS in Business Management and MS in Sport Business and Entertainment Management.

Candidates need an overall GPA of at least 3.3, have taken coursework to provide a strong foundation of business knowledge, and have at least one recommendation from Manhattanville faculty attesting to the student’s preparedness for graduate level study.

Students must earn a B or better in all MSBM coursework to continue in the program and may take no more than one MSBM course in the first two semesters of their participation in the program.
