Admissions & Requirements

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is built upon a broad foundation including no less than 50 percent of all courses taken in the liberal arts and a business curriculum offering both depth and breadth.

After one year in the School of Arts and Sciences, students may declare their major in Business Administration, Accounting, or Economics. At the time of declaration, students are assigned an academic advisor who teaches in the area in which the student intends to major. Planning begins in the first year to meet the University's general education requirements as specified below:

• First Year Core Course
• Communications Skills I - Expository Writing
• Communications Skills II - Foreign Language
• Fields of Study (Historical, Literary, Natural Sciences, Social Analysis, Symbolic Reasoning and Visual and Performing Arts)
• Wellness, PLUS 2
• Library and Information Skills Workshops

We strongly recommended that students complete their pre-business requirements (ECON 101-102, ACCT 201-202, BUAD 201, BUAD 203, MATH 211) during their first two years on campus. After meeting these requirements, students may select from six concentrations and in-depth study within these concentrations.
