Policy 91: Pamplin students in a business degree program must complete eight business courses (ACIS 1504, MATH 1524, ACIS 2115, ACIS 2116, BIT 2405, BIT 2406, and ECON 2005, ECON 2006) with a grade of C- or higher by 72 attempted credit hours (or 90 attempted credit hours for students with more than 18 transfer credits). Students who have not met the requirements will be notified upon reaching 72 (or 90) credit hours that they must complete the missing course(s) in the next term(s) of enrollment. Failure to do so may result in the student’s dismissal from the business degree program. This policy is strictly enforced.
Pamplin COB Graduation Requirement: Students must achieve a grade of C- or higher in select business courses (ACIS 1504, MATH 1524, ACIS 2115, ACIS 2116, BIT 2405, BIT 2406, ECON 2005, ECON 2006, MGT 1104, HTM 2314/MGT 2314, MGT 3404, MKTG 3104, FIN 3104, FIN 3054, BIT 3414, and MGT 4394).
COMM 2004: Public Speaking is required for all ACIS students who did not take COMM 1015-COMM 1016 Communication Skills. If ENGL 1105-ENGL 1106 taken, COMM 2004 will satisfy advanced/applied discourse requirement. If COMM 1015-1016 taken, student may choose any approved advanced/applied discourse class.
ACIS Department Graduation Requirement: In order to graduate, students must earn a grade of C- or higher in ACIS 3115, ACIS 3504, ACIS 4214, and ACIS 4654. In addition, students must have an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher and an in-major GPA of 2.0 or higher to graduate. Courses used to calculate the in-major GPA include all ACIS 3000-level or above except ACIS 4194 and ACIS 4344.
ACIS Restricted Electives: All ACIS 3000-level or above courses, except ACIS 4194 and ACIS 4344, may be counted as an ACIS restricted elective.
**Students planning to sit for the CPA exam are strongly encouraged to take ACIS 4124, ACIS 4364, ACIS 4444, and ACIS 4544. For additional recommendations, see https://acis.pamplin.vt.edu/student-resources/cpa.html.
ACIS 4544 Recommendation: Applied Accounting Analytics (ACIS 4544) is suggested, but not required for Pathway 6D Critique & Practice in Design. If another course is used to fulfill Pathway 6D, ACIS 4544 could be taken as an ACIS restricted elective. ACIS 4544 cannot be used to fulfill Pathway 6D and an elective because total credit hours would fall short of the 125 credit requirement.
SOC 1004 Major Requirement: Students may use PSYC 1004 Introductory Psychology to satisfy this requirement if they meet the Pathway 7 Critical Analysis of Identity & Equity in the U.S. requirement with a different required course, such as a Pathways 2 or 4 course that double-counts as Pathways 7.
Students who did not successfully complete at least two years of a single foreign, classical, or sign language during high school must successfully complete six credit hours of a single foreign, classical, or sign language at the college level. Courses taken to meet this requirement may not count towards the minimum credit hours required for graduation. Please refer to the Undergraduate Catalog for details.
