Some colleges/universities have requirements for admissions to the business major that go beyond those specified below. Students can possibly meet these requirements by careful selection of distribution and additional elective courses. Students should work with a counselor, completion coach or academic advisor and the catalog of the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer for further guidance specific to their goals. Early in the program, students should check with their intended transfer university/college advisor for specific admissions and business program requirements for course choices where options are listed for Humanities, Mathematical & Natural Science, Social & Behavioral Science and electives. A cumulative college-level GPA of 2.0 is required. Some transfer institutions require a higher overall GPA, a higher GPA in a subset of courses, or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses. Check with your planned transfer institution for these requirements.
