Admission decisions are made three times each year. All pre-business students with 45 hours toward the degree are reviewed for admission.

BGSU students planning on transferring to the BSBA program must apply for College entrance and pre-business status within 45 hours toward the degree or, in the case that 45 or more hours are transferred from another institution, upon completion of 12 BGSU hours toward the degree.

Pre-business students on conditional standing may take 3000-level business courses, subject to completion of prerequisites, but may not take 4000-level business courses.

Students who do not achieve BSBA admission after the conditional semester will not be permitted to take 3000-or 4000-level business courses and must pursue other degree programs offered at BGSU or another institution.

Elective Courses:

• Electives are courses that count toward the BSBA degree from any University area to fill the elective requirement.

Semester

NOTE: You can do internship for the entire semester.
You can swap the internship with a semester from the schedule above.

Internships are highly encouraged as they do not only provide a way to bridge the classroom material to the practice, they lead to potential future employment with the company.
Study abroad and a second specialization or minor are highly encouraged. For more on your Specialization stop by BA 253 or visit http://www.bgsu.edu/content/dam/BGSU/business/documents/current-students/i-business.pdf
