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.
