Applying to the Major

Students must be eligible for admission to the business administration major to enroll in upper-level business required courses and concentration/track courses. To be eligible, students must complete the seven specific lower-level required courses with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher and hold a minimum GPA of 2.70 for ALL seven lower-level required courses. They must also earn a passing score of 70 percent or higher in the Computer Proficiency Exam.

Lower-level Required Courses (21-22 units)

Degree candidates intending to pursue the business administration major are designated as "pre-Business" (PBUA) until admitted into the major. Students are required to meet each term with their assigned faculty adviser to evaluate their progress in completing the requirements for admission to the major and the degree.

Application Procedure

Students who meet the admission requirements at the end of the term must complete an application form before registering for upper-level "majors only" CBE courses. The forms are available here and in the CBE Student Academic Services office located in Stephens Hall, room 301.
