The overall cumulative GPA requirement for business majors is 2.25. The accounting major requires a 2.75. Cartwright also said one dilemma the business faculty members face is being overbooked in classes, and having no additional faculty spots to implement the new minor. Cartwright said they would try to offer the minor without initially hiring new faculty. You would have to be admitted to the minor before you could take the course.
Some students disagree with limiting the enrollment in business courses.
I'm not for students not being able to take business classes just because they're not a major or minor. Other students dislike the idea of offering a business minor. I think we have a strong business major and to have people coming out with a minor who will be competing for the same jobs with less classes and less knowledge of business will weaken the good solid name. Hussey said the business minor proposal began last fall when he initially met with Robert Dager, former head of the business division. Hussey said the biggest concern even then was the lack of faculty available to teach business minor courses.
