In 2006, the College of Business Administration received reaccreditation of its business and accounting programs, both undergraduate and graduate.

Admission Requirements

At present students entering UM-St. Louis may self declare themselves as “business” students and they are assigned to business as their academic unit. They are advised in business and may take business courses so long as they maintain a minimum campus grade point average of 2.0 and have satisfied the prerequisites for the courses they propose to take.

Beginning in the fall of 2009, students will self declare themselves as “pre-business” students. They will continue to have business as their academic unit and be advised in business, but they will not be formally admitted to the College of Business Administration until they file a formal application for admission.

Formal admission to the College of Business Administration is by application through an academic advisor in the College of Business Administration. Applicants for such admission must meet the following requirements:

Math 1030, College Algebra

The knowledge goals include three courses in the social sciences, three courses in the humanities, and four courses in the combined areas of mathematics and science. All courses must be selected from a list approved by the Faculty Senate of the campus. In many instances courses required by the College of Business Administration for each of its degree programs will satisfy a segment of the general education requirements. A list of courses which fulfill the humanities, social science, and math/science knowledge goals can be obtained in the Office of Undergraduate Academic Advising in the College of Business Administration, 487 Social Sciences and Business (SSB) building; or by visiting our web site.

Students seeking an emphasis area or major within the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree, Bachelor of Science in Accounting degree, and/or Bachelor of Science in Information Systems degree must attain a minimum grade point average of 2.0 in the emphasis/major. Grade modification may not be used in calculating this grade point average.

A minimum grade of C- is required for each course in the business core (except Bus Ad 4219); for each course which serves as a prerequisite for another course; and for each course in an emphasis area and/or major.

Of the maximum of 18 hours which may be taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory graded basis, only 9 hours can be in business, and those are restricted to electives--courses beyond the required business core courses.

Business course prerequisites are enforced by the College of Business Administration and include a minimum campus grade point average of 2.0 as a condition for taking any upper division business course.

Emphasis Areas may be added for up to two years following degree completion.

Each additional degree from the College of Business Administration requires 15 unique hours taken at UM-St. Louis subsequent to completion of the prior business degree.

A minimum of 56 graded hours at UM-St. Louis are required to qualify for consideration for Latin Honors.

Students seeking to use a lower division course to satisfy an upper division business requirement must validate the course being transferred. If successfully validated, the transfer course will waive the need to take the upper division equivalent course at UM-St. Louis, but the course transferred will be counted as lower division; it will not count toward the 36 upper division hours required in business.

Completion of a 42-hour general education block, which is certified by the sending institution as fulfilling its general education requirement, will be viewed as fulfilling UM-St. Louis’ general education. However, all lower division courses required as part of a degree program at UM-St. Louis must be completed.

A student who has completed a 120-hour undergraduate business degree and the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Accounting will need additional coursework in order to satisfy the 150-hour requirement.
