Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.)

Grade and Hour Requirements

In order to earn a B.B.A. degree, students must complete a minimum of 120 semester hours of course work, with a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.  Please note that it may take more than 120 semester hours to meet all degree requirements based on course selection and placement. All General Education/University Core, lower division and upper division requirements must be satisfied. Students must earn a minimum of a C (2.0) grade in each course in the major/area of specialization, in the Communication requirement, and in each course in a business minor (if one is completed). The departmental chair has the prerogative of substituting an additional course in the area of specialization or minor, rather than requiring the student to repeat the course in which a grade below C was received. The student must earn a C or higher in the substituted course for it to satisfy the requirements of the specialization or minor.

Students earning bachelor degrees in all colleges and programs are required to complete a minimum of 36 - 42 credit hours of courses that comprise the General Education/University Core Curriculum. The courses are distributed in the areas of English composition, humanities/fine arts, social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics and multicultural studies. Please see the general section of the University Catalog or your degree audit for more detailed information on the General Education/University Core Curriculum.
