There are five tracks within the BA degree in business administration. Students will select a track when they declare a major in business administration. In cases where students decide to change tracks, they will speak with their advisor, complete appropriate paperwork, and once this paperwork is approved by their advisor it will be submitted to the Department Chair to declare the track change. Students in all tracks will take six core foundational courses, a common capstone course, and six track specific requirements. Track requirements vary in accordance with the track focus and may consist of track required courses, primary track electives, and secondary track electives. Any course substitutions or waivers must be approved by the Business and Accounting (BAC) Department Chair. Other courses may be added to the course lists as approved by the BAC Department.
