The Business Department has adopted entrance requirements for the BSBA degree program to ensure that capable and committed students are placed in classes with their peers where they can learn together and from each other. Students desiring to major in business administration should declare their intent to the Department of Business by completing a pre-major form. At that time, students will be assigned a business advisor who can assist them in career planning and selection of a course of study. All students with an ACT composite score of at least 21 or equivalent will be admitted without review upon completion of an application for admission to the program. Student with an ACT composite score below that number must earn a grade point average of at least 2.25 as described below to be admitted.

To reach the required GPA of 2.25, students:

• must use the grades from Introductory Financial Accounting and Introductory Managerial Accounting, Principles of Macroeconomics and Principles of Microeconomics, Business Law I, and Business Statistics I;

• must use the grade from the first attempt at four or more of these courses and may use the grade from the second attempt at up to two of these courses.

Students who are denied acceptance may appeal in writing to the Assistant to the Department Chair.

Applications for admittance should be submitted at least one week prior to attempting registration in courses restricted to majors. Applications of transfer students (upon their request) will be given a preliminary review before MWSU's pre- or regular registration sessions.

All business majors must satisfactorily complete MAT 112 (or 116, 130, 137, 147, 167) as part of the general studies requirement. Enrollment in most 300- or 400- level courses other than the Junior Core requires admission to the business program and either completion of the Junior Core or completion of selected classes and concurrent enrollment in the last of the Junior Core courses.
