As a candidate for the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree, you must complete the University’s General Education Requirements for graduation and fulfill a minimum of 192 quarter hours of credit with a g.p.a. of 2.0 for all hours attempted. You must also maintain a 2.0 g.p.a. for courses taken in business and economics, and a 2.2 g.p.a. for courses in your major. The College of Business limits transfer credit for required business courses taken at a lower level to such courses as it offers at that lower level. Other transfer
credits accepted by the University are evaluated as either business or nonbusiness electives.

Courses included in the 192-hour minimum for the B.B.A. must be chosen so that at least 79 quarter hours are earned in areas of business and economics and at least 96 quarter hours are earned in nonbusiness areas.

Majors
All B.B.A. candidates must complete a core of courses covering the tools of analysis and the operational fields of business plus the requirements for one of the following majors:

	Accounting	Human Resource Management
	Business Economics	International Business
	Business Prelaw	Management & Strategic Leadership
	Finance	Management Information Systems
	General Business	Marketing

The Business Prelaw, Business, and International Business majors re quire the completion of a second major. You can change your major or add a second major through the Office of Student Services.

Core Curriculum
The following courses are taken individually: BA 100A, 100B; ACCT 101, 102; QBA 201; PRCM 150 and MIS 101.

At the sophomore and junior level, business core courses are grouped into two clusters:

Business Context
BUSL 255, MGT 240, MIS 202, and MKT 202

Introduction to Business Systems
FIN 325, OPN 310, BA 370, and PRCM 325J

You must take at least one of the two core clusters in the fully integrated format. Core cluster sections offered in this format are identified in each quarter’s Schedule of Classes under the “Business Cluster” section. The decision to take individual courses from either of the clusters on a standalone basis can have drastic consequences and should be discussed with an academic advisor.
