The Business Administration major requires three sets of courses: (I) lower division core courses with a grade of “C” or better for each course, (II) upper division core courses, and (III) courses to fulfill option requirements. The numbers appearing in ( ) following each course title refer to units; in most cases this is 4 since the typical course has 4 units.
