B.B.A. majors must complete all 100 and 200-level core requirements and meet all of the formal acceptance criteria for the College of Business to be eligible for junior-level business course work. Consequently, class schedules for the four-semester sequence covering the first and second years must be planned accordingly.
The lower-level core courses are:
COB 191 Business Analytics I
COB 202 Interpersonal Skills
COB 204 Computer Information Systems

Accounting majors need a “B” or better in both COB 241 & COB 242 to be eligible to take upper-level accounting classes.
