BACCALAUREATE DEGREE PROGRAM

Baccalaureate Degrees Majors: Accounting, Advertising and Public Relations, Business Economics, Finance, General Administration, Human Resource Management, International Business, Management Information Systems, and Marketing.

Students pursuing a baccalaureate degree enter the WCBA as Pre-Business majors. Satisfactory progress toward the completion of the General Education Requirements (GER) and Business Tool Course (TOOL) requirements must be made before the completion of 34 semester hours of course work to retain the Pre-Business status in the WCBA. Students who have not made satisfactory progress within this period will no longer be permitted to continue in the WCBA. Advisors are available for consultation regarding other major opportunities.

To declare a business major, students are required to have: 1) junior standing, 2) the completion of English Writing II, and all Business Tool courses with a minimum grade of C and, 3) a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. Students who wish to declare a business major must apply with an academic advisor in Williamson Hall, room 408.

Baccalaureate Degree (B.S. in B.A.) requirements are divided into six components: I. General Education Requirements (GER), II. Business Tool Courses, III. Business Core Courses, IV. Major Courses, and V. Non-Business Electives. Pre-business majors are restricted to courses in the areas of General Education, Business Tool Courses, and Non-Business Electives. A prerequisite to all upper division Business Core courses is a declared major. Students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 and have completed all Business Tool Courses and Writing 1551 with a grade of C or better to declare a business major.
