Policy 91: Pamplin students in a business degree program must complete eight business courses (ACIS 1504 Introduction to Business Analytics and Business Intelligence, MATH 1524 Business Calculus, ACIS 2115 Principles of Accounting - ACIS 2116 Principles of Accounting, BIT 2405 Introduction to Business Statistics, Analytics, and Modeling - BIT 2406 Introduction to Business Statistics, Analytics, and Modeling, and ECON 2005 Principles of Economics - ECON 2006 Principles of Economics) 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.
Graduation requirement: Students must achieve a grade of C- or higher in select business courses (ACIS 1504 Introduction to Business Analytics and Business Intelligence, MATH 1524 Business Calculus, ACIS 2115 Principles of Accounting - ACIS 2116 Principles of Accounting, BIT 2405 Introduction to Business Statistics, Analytics, and Modeling - BIT 2406 Introduction to Business Statistics, Analytics, and Modeling, ECON 2005 Principles of Economics - ECON 2006 Principles of Economics, MGT 1104 Foundations of Business, HTM 2314 Introduction to International Business or MGT 2314 Introduction to International Business, MGT 3404 Principles of Management, MKTG 3104 Marketing Management, FIN 3104 Introduction to Finance, FIN 3054 Legal and Ethical Environment of Business, BIT 3414 Operations and Supply Chain Management, and MGT 4394 Strategic Management).
Critical Analysis of Identity & Equity in the U.S. may be double-counted with another course (major, option, pathway, or free elective) that is designated as pathway 7. If this pathway is already met, students must take a free elective to meet the 125-credit hour requirement.
Overall and In-Major GPA: Students must have an overall GPA of 2.0 and an in-major GPA of 2.0 to graduate. Courses used to calculate the in-major GPA are noted with a # footnote.
