General Management Major
The major in general management provides students with interests in more than one discipline the flexibility to concentrate their elective course work in two areas. Course work in the areas noted below may be used for the general management major. Courses with significant international content are offered in several areas. Students with international business interests should also consider a study abroad program or the Certificate Program in International Business.
To earn the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree, general management majors must earn a minimum of 120 credits. General management majors fulfill all arts and sciences foundation requirements as well as all BSBA core curriculum requirements. The core courses in the two areas of concentration must be completed with a C or better to take additional courses in those areas. A cumulative GPA of 2.25 (C+) in each of the general management concentrations is required for graduation. A C- or better is required in each course applied toward the general management major. Although the courses to be offered will be affected by student demand, the following courses have been approved to date for each area.
Careful planning is required to complete the general management major. Not all courses are offered every term. Transfer students, and students intending to graduate in August or December, need to plan carefully to be sure they complete the required courses when offered. Visit course descriptions to see in which term courses are offered.
