Bachelor of Business Administration
Accounting Emphasis
The B.B.A. program provides a course of study that (1) prepares students for professional positions in private or public business fields, (2) prepares them to evaluate and exploit viable business opportunities, and (3) prepares them for graduate study in business and related disciplines.
Admission Requirements
To be formally admitted to the B.B.A. program, a student must be in good standing at the University.
Degree Requirements (2008-2009 CATALOG)
Candidates must complete the general education requirements (GERs) as well
as the specific program requirements listed in this section for a minimum of
120 credit hours. Any given course may be counted as fulfilling more than one
requirement in a degree program, but the credit hours can only be counted once.
Degrees must include 42 credits of upper-division (300 or above) courses, 24
of which must be completed at UAS. Courses used as major requirements cannot
be used as GERs.
A minimum grade of C must be earned in math (through MATH S107) and communication
classes taken in the general education requirements. In addition, all students
in the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) program must either test
out of or earn a C or better in 3 hours of CIOS electives, 3 hours of CIOS
spreadsheet or database courses, STAT S273, major and emphasis courses, and
BA 462, Capstone. Students should complete the computer courses within their
first sixty (60) credit hours.
Students in any of the business programs who are deemed deficient in any of
the competency areas may be required to take additional courses to strengthen
their skills before graduation. Any such additional courses can usually be
counted as a program elective. Requiring supplementary course work will be
considered if two different faculty members indicate a student has a weakness
in the same outcome area.
