Because the Bachelor Degree in Business Administration is an upper division program, students begin the program after already completing substantial coursework. Certain prerequisites must be completed prior to matriculation (the start of studies at UWB). In addition, some prerequisites must be completed prior to application.
Prerequisites for Matriculation
Admitted students must complete a minimum of 80 transferable quarter credits (90 credits preferred), with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least a 2.5, prior to beginning their business studies at UWB. These credits must include all of the following prerequisite courses (with a minimum grade of 2.0 in each):
