Curriculum Summary

Exit exam. All business students must take a nationally normed, summative end of program exam that is used for outcomes assessment purposes.  The exam that is currently being used is provided by Peregrine Academic Services.  This is a comprehensive exam covering all of the major business disciplines and it is a graduation requirement.  The exam is taken as part of the Senior Seminar (BUS 490) course.

Minimum Grades in Courses.  No grade below “C” in a course required for the major or minor (including cognates and specified electives) will count toward satisfying that course requirement. This policy does not refer to general education requirements or elective courses.
