Specific Admission Requirements
All undergraduate business majors (accounting, business management and economics) take the Business Core. The Core prepares business majors with general business knowledge and skills. The Core also provides students with an understanding of and appreciation for the intellectual discipline needed for successful completion of a business major.
These courses provide students with the common body of knowledge needed for imaginative and responsible citizenship and leadership roles in business and society, domestically and globally. The Business Core is designed to provide students with the opportunity to integrate their educational experiences in business within a specific discipline and across disciplines.

The Hasan School of Business prerequisite course requirement is a D, so that a student may progress to the next course.
