• Math Placement
• English Placement

Business Administration courses numbered 300 and above (with the exception of DSCI 346, MGMT 326, MKTG 310, FINC 335 and OPSM 330) are intended for students who either:

1. are formally admitted to the BSB program or
2. have post-baccalaureate standing and have completed the prerequisite courses or
3. have formally declared majors in another degree program, have completed the prerequisite courses and have the appropriate clearances and class standing, and are taking the course for one of the following reasons:
   1. required for their major;
   2. required for their minor;
   3. fulfills a BACR, or International Studies requirement.

Students are also expected to satisfy course prerequisites as listed in this catalog. Students who do not meet one of the above criteria, or who have not satisfied course prerequisites, will be dropped from the course.

Students are limited to three attempts for each requirement for their Business major or minor, including all requirements listed on the Business Administration Core and Business classes required for the major or minor. If a requirement for the major or minor has to be taken 3 times and is not successfully completed with a 2.0 grade by the third attempt, the student will be dropped from the program.

MATH 200 Finite Math OR MATH 142 Precalculus II OR MATH 161 Calculus I, will be the required math course for the business program and the required math prerequisite for DSCI 245, DSCI 346, FINC 335, and OPSM 330. Please refer to the the catalog year in which you declared your major: https://catalog.ewu.edu/ps/sb/

Exception to this policy: A student who has completed both MATH 115 and DSCI 245 (or equivalents) before Fall 2012 will not be required to complete MATH 200 to meet the undergraduate business requirement and prerequisites listed above, as long as the student earns a minimum grade of 2.0 in the first graded attempt of DSCI 346, OPSM 330, and FINC 335. A student who fails to earn a minimum grade of 2.0 in the first graded attempt of any of these courses will be disqualified from this exception and be required to complete MATH 200 before retaking the course or any other business course with MATH 200 as the prerequisite.

Students absent for less than five years:

If a student has been absent for less than five years as determined by EWU’s Admissions Office, evaluation of coursework is not needed. Department chairs and/or faculty advisors may recommend but not require that the student repeat certain courses.

Business  program courses that expire after five  years:

• All Entrepreneurship (ENTP) Courses
•  ACCT 454 – Federal Income Tax I

Business program courses that expire after ten years:

• All other business program courses

Second major within the BSB degree program
The faculty of the School of Business have agreed that students may be awarded more than one major of the BSB degree, so long as the student completes at least six (6) courses in the second major that are unique from those in the first major.

For the majority of BSB majors, completing the required major courses is sufficient to satisfy the 6 unique course requirement. In the instances where there are fewer than 6 unique required courses, students may complete the double-major with the addition of an extra course(s). Students may choose a course(s) from the approved electives for that major in order to achieve 6 unique courses.

Currently, the following dual-majors would require that the student complete a course beyond the minimum required for the major in order to achieve six (6) unique courses:
• International Business and Management – Human Resources Option (1 additional unique course required)
• Management – General Business Option and Management – Human Resources Option (1 additional unique course required)

Double-counting of courses for dual majors
The Business Core courses are required for all BSB majors and completing them will satisfy the core requirements for both majors.
Required courses beyond the business core that are common to both majors may be used to satisfy the requirements for both majors. Note that these courses would not be considered to be unique, so students may need to take additional course(s) from the approved electives for their major in order to satisfy the 6-unique course requirement and earn the dual majors.

Double-counting of courses for minors

The faculty of the School of Business have agreed that no more than 1 course may be double-counted in a business minor, except for the accounting minor, which will allow ACCT 251 and ACCT 252 to be double-counted since they are part of the business core.
