Curriculum
We recommend that students have a sound foundation in mathematics before entering this program. We recommend that all students take the assessment test early to determine their mathematical level. Students must achieve at least a C or better in all accounting courses to continue onto the next level. Note: all business courses numbered 100 or higher require that students must be eligible for ENG* 101, with the exception of BBG* 101. Students are strongly advised to follow the suggested order of courses in the program whenever possible.
