Get a head start on your Master’s.
The Business Master’s Pathway is a five-year BA/BS + MS program that offers University of Rochester undergraduates a streamlined route into one of Simon’s full-time MS programs: Accountancy, AI in Business, Business Analytics, Finance, or Marketing Analytics.
Students apply during their junior year to secure early admission and may begin select graduate coursework while completing their undergraduate degree. Students from all majors are welcome to apply—a business-related undergraduate major can be helpful preparation, but it is not required for admission.
Students admitted through the pathway receive a 40% tuition scholarship toward their Simon MS degree.
