Admission to Major
Acceptance into the College of Business Administration does not guarantee acceptance into a specific major. All students admitted into the College of Business Administration are admitted as pre-majors and must earn admission to a major prior to the completion of 75 hours of coursework.
Progression to a Major
You must apply to your
major during your advising
session in the semester you
complete the coursework
listed below. For instance,
if you are scheduled to
complete these courses in
the spring semester, you
should apply to your major
during that spring’s advising
session. Again, you must earn
admission to your major prior
to the completion of 75 total
hours of coursework. (Only in
unusual cases will an application be considered beyond
75 hours.) You will progress to the major provided you
have earned a 2.75 cumulative GPA (3.00 for accounting
majors) in the following coursework (please note that
you must meet the prerequisite requirements for these
courses):
- Math 123-125 or 141-142 (6 or 8 hours)
- Oral Communication (3 hours from Communication Studies 210 or 240)
- Written Communication (3 hours from English 255 or 295)
- Accounting 200 (3 hours)
- Economics 201 (4 hours)
- Statistics 201 (3 hours)
- Business Administration 201 (4 hours)
The Admissions Committee will review applications
the week after final grades are posted, and you will be
notified via mail. If denied progression, you must pursue
a major in a college other than the College of Business
Administration.
