*Students in the business administration major must take at least eight credits of upper-division business electives. Business administration electives are selected from accounting, decision sciences, economics, finance, human resource management, international business, management, marketing and management information systems.
Many College of Management courses are sequenced and build on previous learning. Students must complete course prerequisites before registering for a course which requires prerequisites. In addition, students must complete 30 credits of coursework before they can register for College of Management upper division courses (those numbered 300 and above). MGMT 499 Case Studies in Strategic Management is a capstone class which should be taken near the end of a student’s program.
Transfer of Credit
Transfer course evaluation is made by the faculty in the College of Management. Students may be granted credit for courses of similar content and level (such as lower or upper division) taken at regionally accredited colleges and universities. Students cannot meet major required or elective course requirements with lower-division courses. In addition, courses being transferred into the accounting, economics and management information systems areas must meet respective sunsetting policy requirements. Sunsetting policies specify the acceptable time between when a course is taken and when the course is evaluated to meet a major requirement. If a course is not accepted because too much time has elapsed since the course was completed, a student may demonstrate competence in some courses via exam. Currently, waiver exams are available for Financial Accounting, Strategic Management Accounting, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics and Fundamentals of Information Technology in Organizations.
Credit and Residency Requirements
Students in each of the College of Management bachelor of science major programs must complete a minimum of 20 credit hours of their major requirements and/or major electives at Metropolitan State University. In addition, students must complete at lease 30 credits at Metropolitan State University in order to graduate.
