For beginning students, the Basic Business program requires two years of full-time study. Transfer credits are evaluated and applied as appropriate. As a focus within the division, individualized academic advisement receives special emphasis. Students satisfactorily completing the Basic Business program apply to affiliate with an upper-division major. Students should apply for affiliation with the upper-division major through the Division of Basic Business during the last semester of the sophomore year.
Transfer students remain in the division until they complete the required program.
If their evaluated transcripts reveal that they have the necessary credits and QPA, they may affiliate with a major immediately. Basic Business students must complete the required program of studies before enrolling in upper-division business courses. The objective of the accounting program is to provide the educational foundation for careers in accounting. The program includes both general and special education. Courses in the arts, sciences, and business areas are required.
