requirements, but some might count as electives toward graduation. Check with the College of Business Student Services Office.
Credits Earned Outside the College of Business
Students must earn at least 54 credits in courses outside the College of Business. This means that students will need to take many or all of their electives in non-business courses if they intend to graduate with the minimum 120 credits. Another option is to take additional coursework beyond the 120 credit minimum. |
