Major in Business Administration with a Marketing Concentration
(Catalog 2008 / 2009)
Students in the Marketing Concentration complete the major in
Business Administration and 21 units in Marketing.
The Business Administration requirements include 21 units in
lower-level core courses and 33 units in upper-level business core courses,
as listed below. All major requirements must be completed with a
grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher. In order to assure that students have
retained critical information from prior courses, students take a comprehensive
examination on business content as part of the capstone
course, MNGT 481. The results of this examination serve as 10% of
the MNGT 481 grade.
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in
Business Administration (BUAD) requires a minimum of 120 earned
units, which must include successful completion of the General
Education (GenEd) requirements, the Business Administration major
requirements listed above, and electives. See the complete Degree
Requirements in the University Curriculum section in this catalog.
During the freshman and sophomore years, pre-business administration
(PBUA) students must concentrate on building an academic foundation
as a base for the in-depth, upper-level courses. This foundation
includes both lower-level core courses and most of the General
Education requirements. Students who enroll in CBE "majors only" courses without having fulfilled the prerequisites risk losing their place
in those courses.
Students are responsible for monitoring their own progress toward
graduation. Students should consult with their assigned advisers to
ensure that prerequisite courses are taken in proper sequence to meet
the student's target completion date for the degree.
