Business Administration Major Requirements

To graduate with a major in business administration, a student must have at least a 2.00 grade point average for courses used to satisfy the major requirements, excluding the MTH requirement. Students cannot enroll in the Business Core until they have successfully completed all four pre-requisite courses.

A major must include:

*The four core business courses must be taken in a single, integrated BLOCK during one term of the junior year. The core block will be taught during both the fall and spring terms. Students should notify the department chair of the term in which s/he intends to enroll in the core upon declaration of the major, and will then be enrolled by the department in the block that term once all pre-requisites have been successfully completed. Subsequent changes in timing of enrollment within the block must be requested by, and are the responsibility of the student. Depending upon demand, students are NOT guaranteed placement in the block during their preferred semester.
