General Elective Coursework (9 semester hours)
Credit will be needed to meet University credit hour requirements. The exact number will be determined once credits from all schools have been transferred. This will vary based on the institutions attended (two-year/four-year) and if any lower-level business courses (i.e. ACCT 200, ACCT 210, MS 250, MS 251) have been transferred.
Transfer Credit
ACCT 200, ACCT 210, MS 250 and MS 251 may have been earned in prior courses or as part of an associate degree program and may transfer into the BSBA online degree completion program. A grade of C or higher is required. If students have transferred any of these lower-level business courses, adjustments to general elective hours will be made as needed. Transfer students may contact the School of Business Student Services office with questions regarding transferability and equivalency of business coursework completed at other institutions. Visit the transfer credit website for course equivalency guides.
