In order to declare as a Pre-Business major, the student must file a degree plan in the Office of the Dean. Admission to a major option program is limited to those students who meet the following requirements: Completion of the Non-Business Foundation Requirements and the Business Foundation Requirements as described in the "Undergraduate Course of Study" for the Bachelor of Business Administration. Completion of the following courses (or their equivalent) with a minimum grade of "C": ACCT 2301 and ACCT 2302; ECON 2303 and ECON 2304; ENGL 1312; MATH 1320 and MATH 2301; QMB 2301.

Upper-division business courses taken by a Pre-Business major without written permission of the Undergraduate Advisor will be counted as business electives only, and other approved upper-level business courses will be designated to complete the degree requirements. A freshman-level course may be repeated once and the latter grade substituted for a previous grade in the students's grade point average (GPA) calculation. -Grades and attempted hours for other repeated courses will be used in computing the GPA. Only those transfer credits with a grade of "C" or better will be accepted for credit toward the BBA degree. Courses taken at two-year institutions or as a requirement for a two-year degree are accepted by the College of Business Administration as transfer credits for lower-division courses only. Courses taken at four-year accredited institutions and designated as lower-division courses may be accepted as upper-division credits if the course is taught at the upper-division level at UTEP and has received additional validation from the Office of the Dean. Transfer credit for upper-division business administration courses is restricted to AACSB accredited curricula. Transfer credit for courses from institutions outside the United States will be evaluated independently. The applicability of transfer credits to the degree plan is determined by the Office of the Dean. To complete the degree, a student must comply with the following: Complete the required course of study as outlined below. Follow University academic regulations as stated else-where in this catalog.
