Students entering the college
Pre-business
or economics
Students enter the College of Business Administration at the beginning
of their first year or as transfer students. First-year students
and transfer students who are pursuing the bachelor of science
in business administration (BSBA) degree enter the college as
pre-business students and retain that classification until they
are admitted to the BSBA program (see Admission
to the BSBA program). First-year students and transfer students
who are pursuing the bachelor of science in economics enter the
college as economics majors.
Transfer
from other BGSU colleges
Students currently enrolled in other BGSU colleges or in pre-major
advising are encouraged to meet with Undergraduate Studies in
Business or faculty advisers for information regarding the college's
programs and course scheduling. Students may transfer to the College
of Business Administration in the first semester of their initial
enrollment at BGSU or at any time thereafter if the student has:
- A cumulative
BGSU grade point average of 2.0 or higher; and
- Met one
of the following:
a. Completion
of MATH 126, 131 or 134 with a grade of "C" or higher;
b. Completion of MATH 120, 122, 128 or 130 with a grade of "C"
or higher and current enrollment in MATH 126, 131 or 134;
c. Placement and current enrollment in MATH 126, 131 or 134.
To transfer,
students should go to the office of their current college to request
transfer and then meet with an adviser in Undergraduate Studies
in Business.
Transfer
from other colleges or universities
Students seeking transfer to BGSU and the College of Business
Administration should contact the Office
of Admissions. Prospective transfer students are encouraged
to meet with Undergraduate Studies in Business (college office)
or faculty advisers for information regarding the college's programs.
Credit by
transfer from a four-year, fully accredited institution is accepted
for most courses. Credit by transfer from a two-year, fully accredited
institution is not accepted for most business courses that are
junior or senior level at BGSU. However, transfer students with
sufficient background in the subject matter of a course may seek
credit by examination or credit through the College Level Examination
Program (see Credit
by examination). These validation options are given at the
discretion of the appropriate department and may result in BGSU
credit for the course.
