The

Information Systems, and Marketing. Double majors are possible.
A 33-credit-hour business core is required of all B.B.A. candidates.
Students are strongly encouraged to seek the advice of their
academic advisor early in their program of study to develop
a degree plan and ensure the correct sequencing of courses.

Students
are strongly encouraged to complete the B.B.A. math requirement

they are prerequisite requirements to many of the upper level
business courses. Likewise, students are strongly encouraged
to complete the accounting and economics requirements by the
end of their sophomore year. After a student has completed
approximately 55 hours of course work, he/she should concentrate
on completing the 3000/4000 level courses in the business
core. An academic advisor will offer direction regarding majors
as will various business faculty and mentors from within the
College of Business. The student is responsible for sequencing
his or her studies correctly to ensure that prerequisite requirements
are met. Attention to the requirements set forth in this catalog
and consultation with an academic advisor will eliminate any
difficulties.
