Additional Information
Fifty percent of course work, or 60 credit hours, must be taken outside of the College of Business . In counting the 60 credit hours of nonbusiness courses, B.B.A. students may include all hours taken in general education (usually 41), up to a total of nine hours in economics and three hours of COB 191 or MATH 220 . The remaining hours to bring the total to 60 must be taken from any academic unit outside the College of Business . Students should carefully select these non-business electives to help them gain additional knowledge and expertise for their careers and personal lives.
Major Requirements
Students planning to major in marketing must complete the 30 hour, lower-division B.B.A. core requirements (see the College of Business section for the list of courses) prior to enrolling in upper-division B.B.A. core and marketing courses.
