The Pre-Business curricu- lum includes the prerequisites to the major and the college breadth requirements. After admis- sion to the major, students are advised by the SoBA through its Office of Undergraduate Programs located at 2340 Olmsted Hall. The B.S. degree in Bus iness Administration is con- ferred by the SoBA.

The program is accredited by the AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Admission A limited number of students are accepted into the Business Administration major, chosen according to overall GPA. Students must apply for the major when they have completed not fewer than 75 and not more than 100 quarter units of college work. Final acceptance into the major is based on comple- tion of all prerequisites and breadth require- ments within a 100-quarter-unit limit, a GPA above 2.00 in prerequisites, and cumulative GPA of at least 2.50. (Students who have not completed the foreign language breadth require- ment may be accepted into the program, but they must complete the requirement before graduation.) Exceptions to the 100-quarter-unit maximum must be requested by petition.
