The following course schedule is for BBA students admitted Fall 2006 or
later to the 3-year BBA Program.
In preparation for admission, students should also have completed ENGL 125 (or equivalent), MATH 115 (or equivalent) and ECON 101 in
their freshman year.
Note: Core courses must be taken in the prescribed order.
Students cannot drop required core courses.
Sophomore Year
The first year of the BBA program introduces students to some of the core
business fundamentals, while they continue to complete some of the general LSA
requirements.
Junior Year
The second year of the BBA program continues to build on the base
core curriculum, while beginning to immerse students more into business
electives as they wrap up their LSA requirements.
Senior Year
The last year of the BBA program contains one final core course
and provides students with the freedom
to select from a variety of electives. Students should also make sure they
complete any remaining degree requirements.
- Business Law: Students must complete one of two Business Law
courses (either LHC 305 or 306). This requirement be completed at any time
during the Junior and Senior years.
- 45 Business Credits: Students must complete at least 45 credits
of Business classes in order to graduate. The core classes listed above
(including core classes which may have been taken at U-M before entering the BBA
program), are included in the required 45. (The core and the
law requirement are a total of 36 credits, so an additional 9 credits of
Business
elective coursework is required.)
- 120 Total Credits: Students must complete a total of 120 credits
to receive their degree. In addition to the required 45 Business Credits, at
least 54 of the 120 credits must be non Business coursework.
- Distribution & Foreign Language Requirements: In addition to the
Business requirements, BBA students are required to complete three
of the following four requirements:
- Humanities Distribution (HU) = 9 credits
- Natural Sciences (NS) and/or Mathematical and Symbolic Analysis (MSA)
= 9 credits
- Social Sciences (SS) = 9 credits (excluding Econ 101 & 102)
- Foreign Language Proficiency = Fourth-term proficiency in a foreign
language is determined by successful completion of a proficiency
examination administered by U-M, or by completion of a fourth-semester
college-level foreign language course. AP course work which meets
fourth-term proficiency fulfills this requirement. See the
LSA Bulletin
for further details.
Current BBA students can schedule an
Academic Counseling
Appointment if they have questions regarding any of the degree requirements.
