General Program Requirements
General course requirements, core courses, and fields of specialization are listed below. Requirements vary depending upon the field of specialization selected; for a detailed description of degree requirements (with changes approved since publication of the latest catalog), see current degree requirements for BA majors, available in the College of Business.

All students majoring in business administration must see a business advisor for advising once a year to have advising holds released. By the completion of 60 hours of credit, all students must have completed English, Math, and 100-200-level CB core courses. These required courses are Acctg 230, 231; B Law 210; MgtOp 215; Econ 101, 102; Engl 101; Math 201, 202; MIS 250. Enrollment in 300-level CB business courses is restricted to those students who have met these requirements and have certified as BA or HBM majors.

All students majoring in business administration must complete 50 percent of their course work outside of the College of Business. Nine hours of economics and four hours of MgtOp 215 are counted as outside of the CB to meet this 50 percent rule.

Residence Requirements
1) At least 50 percent of business core and major specialization course requirements must be taken at WSU; 2) at least nine 300-400-level business/economics courses must be taken in residence at WSU; and 3) the last 30 hours of course work must be taken at WSU.

The chair of the department and/or the dean of the college must approve in writing any portion of the 300-400-level credit which is to be satisfied by transfer, correspondence, independent study, or other credit, which does not carry WSU grade points. Additional transfer, correspondence, and independent study credit (within university limits on these credits) may count toward the 120 hours required for the degree and/or satisfy requirements other than major courses.

Only general elective courses that are not GERs, not core/major requirements, and not a course offered by the CB may be taken pass, fail.

An honors senior project is required for Honors students. Honors students in the CB must be enrolled in two hours of CB 499 along with one hour UH requirement the semester the project is presented.

Second Bachelor's Degree
Students who have received a bachelor's degree in another area may obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration by presenting total credits of at least 150 hours and by fulfilling the following departmental requirements: Acctg 230, 231; B Law 210; ComSt or H D [C]; MgtOp 215, 340; Econ 101, 102; Engl 402 [W] or 403 [W]; Fin 325; Math 201, 202; MgtOp 301; MgtOp 491 or 492; MIS 250; Mktg 360; Pol S Elective; Soc or Psych [S,K]; and the courses required for the student's chosen major in business.

The second degree can usually be completed in less than two years, depending on the number of business requirements completed as electives for the first undergraduate degree. Second degree students must have completed Acctg 230, 231; B Law 210; MgtOp 215; Econ 101, 102; Engl 101; Math 201, 202; and MIS 250 before enrolling in 300- or 400-level business courses. Students should consult the CB Business Advising Office for specific requirements.

Transfer Students
Students planning to transfer to WSU at the end of the freshman or sophomore year should follow, as closely as possible, the general and core course requirements set forth above. If this is done, there should be no difficulty in completing the requirements for the bachelor's degree within the normal period of four years. It should also be noted that courses taken at community colleges are not accepted as transferable equivalents to 300- or 400-level courses at WSU.

Graduation Requirements
Students certified Fall 2004 and beyond are held to a minimum of a 2.50 business GPA to graduate. This GPA can be tracked in the student's DARS report.
