Program Transfer and Status Changes

All students requesting a change in program status must be in good academic standing. With permission from Graduate Academic Services and under certain conditions, students may transfer from a cohortbased MBA program (Two-Year, One-Year, and Blended Learning Miami MBA) to the Part-time MBA. Students may be subject to loss of earned credits due to the differences in curriculum across programs. Current students in any MBA program wishing to join a cohort-based program are required to apply and be accepted to that program. Additionally, if a current student seeks to transfer from the Part-time MBA into a cohort-based program the student may be required to complete their core courses in the Part-time format. MS students are not allowed to transfer to the MBA program; they must apply. Similarly, students in the MBA must apply for admission to MS programs. Students in degree-granting programs may not transfer to certificate programs. 

  • One-Year and Two-Year MBA students who wish to change from full-time to part-time status may do so after completing the first semester of core. 
  • Blended Learning Miami students should contact the Office of Graduate Academic Services for appropriate guidelines on program changes. 
  • MSEL students are not eligible to change from full-time to part-time status. 
  • MSF and MSBA students may transfer from full-time to part-time status after completing the core and with the permission of the Office of Graduate Academic Services. 
  • Part-time MBA students who wish to change from part-time to full-time status may do so at any time (when applicable), provided they are in good academic standing and meet all conditions for doing so, including conforming to state immunization requirements and carrying health insurance. 

Students can access the electronic form to change their status through the BabsonHub. Subject to policies regarding the time in which degree requirements must be satisfied, students changing their status will have the same degree requirements as when they entered the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business and will remain in the program in which they were accepted. Students should contact the Office of Graduate Academic Services for more information.
