course requirements
Mathematics
Each student is required to complete five
to six credit hours in calculus with a grade
of "C" of better as part of the
BSBA admission requirements. A student may
select either MATH
1260 or 1310, or both 1340 and 1350. MATH
0950, 0980, 1120, 1200, 1220, 1280, or 1300 may also
be required, depending on the student's math
placement. Credit for MATH
0900, 0950, 0980, and 1120 does not count toward
the BSBA degree. Only three hours of MATH
1200 counts toward the BSBA degree.
Communications
Each student is required to complete a three-hour
communications course, IPC
1020.
Non-business
electives
The general requirements component of the
BSBA degree must include at least 47 hours
of non-business courses, including BG Perspective,
mathematics, communications, and additional
hours in non-business fields. Each student
is required to complete 7 to 14 non-business
elective hours, depending upon the credit
hours of courses taken to meet BG Perspective
and mathematics requirements.
The
use of
ECON 2020 and/or 2030
to satisfy the BG Perspective social and behavioral
sciences domain requirement will increase
credit hours in non-business courses. In addition,
BSBA students who use ECON
2000 as one of the two social and behavioral
science courses must have three additional
hours of non-business courses, taken as non-business
electives, free electives, or in the area
of specialization (this may increase graduation
requirements to 125 hours).
Non-business
electives must not be courses offered by the
College of Business Administration but should
be selected in consultation with an academic
advisor to broaden or deepen the student's
achievement of University and BG perspective
learning outcomes. For a list of courses that
do not count toward the BSBA degree, see the
appropriate check sheet of degree requirements
or contact Undergraduate Student Development.
Free
electives
Business or non-business courses may be used
as free electives to complete the minimum
degree requirements of 122 credit hours. The
number of credit hours needed is determined
by the number of hours taken as University,
college, or specialization requirements. These
electives should be selected in consultation
with the student's advisor. Generally a student
may take courses in any department of the
University to meet this requirement. For a
list of courses that do not count toward the
BSBA degree, see the appropriate check sheet
of degree requirements or contact Undergraduate
Student Development.
