BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
Professional
education in business administration serves to develop the capabilities of
students so that they may assume positions of leadership and responsibility at
all levels of management in our society.
Students
pursuing a program of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science within
the Department of Business Administration must select one of four majors:
international business studies, management, marketing, or operations
management. Honors Degree options are
available in all the majors. Students
may apply to the minors in management information systems, economics, or a
variety of other fields. A minor in
international business is available for students majoring in marketing,
management, operations management, MIS, accounting, or finance. A minor in business administration is also
available to students majoring in other fields.
Each
candidate for a degree must: (1) earn a minimum of 121 credits, 126 credits for
international business majors, (2) achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of C (2.0)
on all work undertaken at the University of Delaware, (3) fulfill the course
requirements of the degree program, and (4) achieve at least a C- in specified
business, finance, accounting, math and economics courses. Students seeking a Bachelor of Science Degree
in any major within the Department of Business Administration may take only one
of the four required upper-level Courses in their major at another institution
unless advance permission is granted for credit earned in residential
study-abroad courses.
All
300- and 400-level courses are restricted to Business Administration Department
students and to those students whose programs require the course.
Professional education in business administration
serves to develop the capabilities of students so that they may assume
positions of leadership and responsibility at all levels of management in our
society.
