Business Administration Major (B.S.)
To attain the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, all students must satisfactorily complete liberal arts courses, both required and elective, business core courses, the requirements of their major and sufficient free electives to total 120 credits. The last 30 credits of the B.S. in Business Administration degree must be taken at the University.
To complete degree requirements satisfactorily, the student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Each major specifies the average required in major courses as well as any minimum grade requirements for specific courses. Students may take a specific business or liberal arts core course no more than three times (may be waived, under exceptional circumstances, by the Department Chair and Associate Dean). Each student is advised by a faculty member in the area of major. The ultimate responsibility for complying with curriculum requirements rests with the student. Choice of a program of study must be made before completion of 75 credits, but normally occurs by the end of the sophomore year.
