Business Administration
Combined Major in Business Administration and Computer Information Systems
The combined major in Business Administration and Computer
Information Systems requires at least 89 units to be earned with a grade
equivalent of 2.00 or higher.
Degree candidates intending to major in Business Administration are
designated as "pre-Business" (PBUA) until admitted into the BUAD major.
Students are admitted to the major in Business Administration (BUAD) on a competitive basis after first being admitted to the University. Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to the major. Each term, the College of Business and Economics (CBE) considers applications for admission to the major in the following term. In order to be admitted, students must satisfy the following requirements:
1. Formal admission to TU as a degree candidate
2. Minimum cumulative quality point average (QPA) of 2.00 or higher for all course work
3. Grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher in each lower-level CBE Core prerequisite course
4. Minimum average (QPA) of 2.70 for ALL seven lower-level CBE Core prerequisites
5. A passing score for the CBE Computer Proficiency Exam
The minimum quality point average (QPA) will be reviewed each year and may be adjusted as space availability dictates. Candidates for the major must fulfill the requirements in effect at the time of application. No more than two courses may be repeated, of which no more than one course may be repeated twice.
Degree candidates intending to major in Business Administration are designated as "Pre-Business Administration" (PBUA) until admitted into the BUAD major.
Students who take upper-level "majors only" CBE courses before being admitted to the Business Administration major do so at their own risk.
Application Procedure
Students who will meet the admission requirements at the end of the semester must complete an Application for Admission to the BUAD Major before registering for upper-level (300-400) CBE courses (BUSX, EBTM, ECON, FIN, MKTG, and EBTM). The forms are available in CBE Student Academic Services, Stephens Hall, Room 301.
The deadline for spring admission is Oct. 1; the summer and fall deadline is March 1. Failure to meet the deadline can cause a delay in registering for "major only" or upper-level CBE courses.
