1Most C&BA students select a major program within Curriculum I — Business Administration. Requirements for Curriculum II — Accounting, Curriculum III — Dual Major in Business and Foreign Languages Program, and Curriculum IV — Management Information Systems differ. The requirements for the latter curricula are outlined on subsequent pages.
2Students with the required high-school units in mathematics are classified by means of standardized placement tests; only those with satisfactory placement test scores are admitted to MATH 112. Students who do not make satisfactory scores should complete MATH 100 before taking MATH 112. MATH 100 may be counted toward the degree as a non-commerce elective. In certain cases, students with very weak backgrounds in mathematics may be required to complete MATH 005, which is a noncredit course. Students who concentrate in quantitative finance are required to complete MATH 112, MATH 125, and MATH 126. In all other Curriculum I majors, students are required to complete MATH 112 and MATH 121, or MATH 115 and MATH 125. MATH 125 and MATH 126 are 4-hour courses.
3Foreign language/computer language requirement. Students must complete two semesters (6-8 hours) of a foreign language designated FL or earn equivalent credit by examination; or they must earn 6 semester hours in C-designated courses. Foreign language courses must be selected from non-commerce electives taken to meet the general education requirements. Computer language courses may be selected from either non-commerce or commerce-related electives designated C. Commerce courses with a C designation may not be counted as non-commerce electives.
