Mays Business School
Business Concentration
DESCRIPTION:
The University Studies degree is an innovative interdisciplinary degree with an
area of concentration and two minors, atleast one of which is from different
college from that area of concentration. The degree serves two main groups of
students: first, students who are in good academic standing (GPA of 2.0 or
above) but who are unable to get access to major of interest and second,
students who specifically seek a broad interdisciplinary combination of
coursework that is unavailable through existing degree programs.
The Educational objective of the Universty Studies Degree is to provide students
with an interdisciplinary academic degree that will prepare them for a
successful life and career or for graduate school.
REQUIRED COURSES:
A. Concentration
The following 24 hours of coursework are required.* The student must complete
all upper division courses in residence, and must have a 2.0 GPR overall in
these courses for degree completion. One or two writing courses will be
required for the University Studies Degree, depending on the student's catalog.
The courses must be taken in the minors or free electives. Currently MAYS does
not offer any "W" courses in its Business concentration curriculum.
