The Bachelor of Science in Commerce (BSC) provides the undergraduate student with professional business preparation grounded in liberal studies education. Through the required courses common to all students seeking the BSC, a student in the College of Commerce will complete coursework in every department in the college. In the major program, a student will pursue specialized coursework in an area of his or her choosing.
The degree requires a minimum of 192 quarter hours of completed coursework, although a student may exceed 192 hours based upon factors such as course selection, transferred credit and major and minor requirements.
Credit hours for the degree are comprised of study in several curricular areas:
A student enters the College of Commerce as undeclared in a major program. Once a student meets eligibility requirements to declare his or her desired major, the student should do so. Requirements for declaring and completing each major are located in Academic Departments and Programs of Study.
A student in Commerce is not required to complete a minor or a modern language. However, a student should research if completion of a minor program or modern language coursework would be beneficial to his or her academic and career development.
A student who is nearing the completion of his or her degree should consult with the Commerce Undergraduate Program Office on the degree conferral process and what steps need to be taken to have the degree awarded.
