General requirements

To apply for the MS in Biology/MBA dual degree, candidates must complete a separate application for each program. Students can either apply simultaneously to Stern and GSAS, or they can apply to Stern during their first year in the Biology program.
While no additional admissions standards are applied to dual degree applications at either school, students qualify for the dual MS/MBA degree program only upon admission to both schools. Please note that it is possible to be admitted to both programs, only one program or neither program in this process.
