2007-2008 General BSBA degree requirements — click click to display detailed requirements for 2007-2008 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 126 or 131, or both 134 and 135. MATH 095, 098, 112, 120, 122, 128, or 130 may also be required, depending on the student's math placement. Credit for MATH 090, 095, 098, and 112 does not count toward the BSBA degree. Only three hours of MATH 120 counts toward the BSBA degree.

Communications
Each student is required to complete a three-hour communications course, IPC 102.

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 202 and/or 203 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 200 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 Studies in Business.

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 Studies in Business.
