The following guidelines apply to the degree:

 

1.     Students must obtain a “C” (2.00) or better in all courses in the concentration.

2.     Students must complete 40 credits after the program is approved.

3.     The program must include 40 credits at the upper-division (300-400) level.

4.     Liberal studies: Students must complete a minimum of 40 credits. There is no double counting between liberal studies, the concentration and electives.

5.     The program may not include courses that would comprise more than 80 percent of any approved departmental major.

6.     Students interested in an individually created program within the College of Business will coordinate with a College of Business adviser. If it is determined that more than 25 percent of the individually created program is appropriate in business, the adviser will make certain that the courses chosen meet the common body of knowledge requirements of The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

7.     Students with a concentration outside of the College of Business may not take more than 25 percent of their program from courses taught by the College of Business.

8.     Admission into an individually created program begins the semester following approval of the committee.
