Accelerated B.S./M.S. Admission Option:
Undergraduate students matriculated at Rhode Island College can apply for conditional admission to the Master of Science in Operations Management program after completing 72 credits, at least 12 of which must be in Business courses taken at RIC. If conditionally admitted to the M.S. program, students will begin taking graduate courses after completing 90 undergraduate credits. Students will take MGT 455 and one 500-level Business course (i.e. MGT 530, MGT 536, MGT 537, MGT 542, MGT 543, MGT 544, MGT 545, MGT 546, MGT 547) which will count for both the B.S. and M.S. degrees. Additionally, students may take up to two additional 500 that will count towards only the M.S. degree. These courses will be taken in the student’s senior year which can include the early spring or summer sessions. If students are still in good standing upon completion of the B.S., they are fully admitted to the M.S. degree program, which could be completed in two semesters.
