The Frank G. Zarb School of Business offers programs leading to the Master of Business Administration with majors in the following areas:

Bachelor of Business Administration/Master of Science, B.B.A./M.S

Human Resources Management
Qualified Hofstra University undergraduate management majors may choose to take the above-listed joint B.B.A./M.S. program. These students must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), meet the M.S. admission requirements, and submit the appropriate application after successfully completing a minimum of 88 undergraduate credits, but prior to enrolling in their last 12 credits of course work toward the B.B.A.

Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration
This program leads to both the Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration degrees. Many areas of law and business benefit from such an integrated program.

Bachelor of Business Administration/Master of Business Administration
The Frank G. Zarb School of Business offers combined B.B.A./M.B.A. programs.

Qualified Zarb School of Business undergraduate students may choose to take any combination of B.B.A. and M.B.A. majors. B.B.A. students must apply for admission into the M.B.A. program after completing a minimum of 88 undergraduate credits, but prior to enrolling in their last 12 credits of course work toward the B.B.A. They are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), meet all M.B.A. admission requirements, and be conditionally accepted into the graduate program before being eligible to take up to two graduate-level courses (six credits) as part of the undergraduate program. Students take these graduate-level courses in the School of Business in place of two undergraduate-level electives (either in the undergraduate major or outside that major) under departmental advisement of their major in the B.B.A. and in the intended M.B.A. These courses are credited to both the B.B.A. and M.B.A. Students must complete the B.B.A. degree before being permitted to take more than six graduate credits.
