Major Requirements
Twelve business courses (34 s.h.) and eight non-business courses (25 s.h.) are required as part of the lower- and upper-division foundation requirements for the B.B.A. program. In addition, a minimum of nine business courses must be completed in the major, which is comprised of 1) required major courses, 2) one information technology course, 3) an international course, 4) one upper-level (3500+) Economics course, 5) and business electives. Business electives can be satisfied with upper-level business courses (3000+ level).
NOTE: Many upper-division foundation courses and major courses have prerequisites. Some of these prerequisites also include grade requirements. Students are required to meet all prerequisites. The School reserves the right to de-enroll students from courses when prerequisites have not been met. Prerequisites will be strictly enforced. The majority of the major course work, as well as all prerequisites, must be completed prior to taking the capstone course for the major. Students not meeting the requirements for the courses they enroll in may be de-enrolled from those courses. You can review course descriptions at www.temple.edu/bulletin/ugradbulletin/ucd/ucdtoc.html.
Electives
Free electives: Students who have satisfied all of the requirements listed above may need to take additional credits to achieve the 123 credit minimum required for graduation. These credits may be taken in either business or non-business courses.
