General Education Component

Students are required to complete fifty-five (55) semester credit hours selected from the University’s General Education Requirements, as found in the Undergraduate Catalog.

The General Education philosophy states, “While courses in one’s major field prepare a student for success in a chosen profession, the General Education program helps prepare one for success in life.” These courses are important to the BBA degree program, particularly in the areas of essential skills, global and regional studies, modern language and the diversity of society. When all BBA degree program components are taken into consideration, approximately fifty percent (50%) are from non-business coursework.

While there are many choices among the General Education courses offered, it is strongly recommended that BBA students include the following courses during their first year of study (note: BA130 and BA110 are prerequisites to several required BBA Foundation courses):
