The B.S. in Business Administration is a two- year upper-division major offered by the School of Business. Students can enroll in a Pre-Busi- ness status and are advised in CHASS during their freshman and sophomore years. The Pre-Business curriculum includes the prereq- uisites to the major and the college breadth requirements. After admission to the major, students are advised by the School of Business through its Undergraduate Business Programs Office located at 2340 Olmsted Hall. The B.S. degree in Business Administration is conferred by the School of Business.

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

Admission A limited number of students are accepted into the Business Administration major, chosen ac- cording 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 completion of all prerequisites and breadth requirements within a 100-quarter-unit limit, a GPA above 2.50 in major prerequisites, and cumulative GPA of at least 2.70. (Excep- tions: 1. Students who have not completed the foreign language breadth requirement may be accepted into the program, but they must complete the requirement before graduation. 2. Students should complete either ECON 102 or ECON 103 after acceptance into the program). Exceptions to the 100-quarter-unit maximum must be requested by petition.

UCR Students (excluding Pre-Business stu- dents) interested in changing major to Business Administration will be admissible to the Business Preparatory (BSPR), (which is not a major in UCR, but a holding group of transfer students who appear to be qualified for admission into business administration, but have some defi- ciencies which need to be completed before admission into business administration) status only if they can complete their deficiencies in breadth and/or major prerequisites within one quarter (the first quarter after admission into Bus-Preparatory).

The same rule will apply to students transfer- ring in from a community college or a four-year school. In the event these students fail to meet this one quarter requirement, they will not be admitted into the BSPR category, and will be advised to find another major at UCR.

Students are encouraged to participate in at least one internship during their junior or senior year. Students interested in international business are encouraged to participate in Education Abroad, which has programs affiliated with more than 150 institutions in 35 countries worldwide. For details, visit Education Abroad at ea.ucr.edu or call (951) 827-4113.

Outstanding academic achievement is recog- nized by the awarding of the Delta Sigma Pi Scholarship Key to a graduating senior. Other awards, presented on an annual basis, include the Bank of America Business Leaders Scholar- ship, Deloitte and Touche Scholarship, Gordon Blunden/Provident Savings Bank Business Scholarship, and the Ernst & Young Scholarship.

Graduating seniors are also eligible for the School of Business Award for Academic and Service Excellence, and also the School of Business Concentration Area Awards, which recognizes the student with the best overall performance in each concentration area.

Each Spring, the top 10% of juniors and seniors in the Business Administration program are invited to join Beta Gamma Sigma, the only in- ternational honors society recognized by AACSB International. Membership in Beta Gamma Sig- ma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB Inernational. New Members are recognized by an official in- duction ceremony led by the Dean of the School of Business in the Spring quarter.
