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's College of Business & Technology 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.
- Direct admission to the College of Business and Technology graduate programs upon completion of a bachelor's degree.
- Resume assistance with internships and international experiences.
- Coaching and mentoring from an experienced Executive-in-Residence.
- Special distinction with honor cords at graduation.

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:
