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

Major in Business Administration

As you proceed through the B.B.A. Program, it is important that you select your courses so that you will be able to complete the requirements for your major and degree (see below). Please refer to the current University Calendar for further information on degree requirements and relevant information about courses as it is the students' responsibility for ensuring the completion of degree requirements. Please note that a cumulative average of 65.0% is necessary to graduate with a B.B.A. degree.

Although it is preferable to complete the courses in the sequence outlined, you may choose to complete the required courses out of order, provided that all courses are completed and prerequisites are met.

In addition to the notes under the Business Administration Program, you must have the following university degree requirements:

  1. No more than seven one-hundred level credits
  2. At least seven credits at the three-hundred (or equivalent) and/or four-hundred level
  3. No more than one credit with 'D' standing in required (non-elective) courses
  4. At least three credits leading to majors in different disciplines
  5. Any course that is counted toward a specialization must have a minimum grade of 65%
  6. Half credit  (0.5) in INDG.
