All business majors are required to earn a C or better in Business Core courses and 300/400-level major courses to fulfill degree requirements.
Credit Policy
To earn a BSBA from CSU Pueblo, students must complete no fewer than 30 semester hours in business at the 3/400 level in residence at CSU Pueblo. “In residence” courses will include Business or CIS courses offered through CSU Pueblo Extended Studies Programs.
