The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

Declaring a Business Administration Major

Students who declared a Business Administration major prior to fall 2005, whether at a community college or at CSU, Chico, may remain with the previous catalog or choose the current one. You must follow the complete set of course requirements from whichever catalog you choose. See your advisor for help with this decision.

The program requires a Prerequisite Core. These classes (BADM 101, BADM 103 or MATH 108, ACCT 201, ACCT 202, ECON 102, ECON 103, and MATH 107, MATH 109 or 120) must be completed with a grade of C or better in each class, regardless of when you declared the major. It is advised that students take MATH 107, but MATH 109 or 120 will be accepted. If you receive a C- or lower in one of the prerequisite core classes, you must repeat it. Students wishing to major in business must complete MATH 107 (or MATH 109/120) and BADM 103 or MATH 105/108 (with a verified grade of C or better in each) before being allowed to move beyond pre-business status. This requires that students complete MATH 107 (or MATH 109/120) and BADM 103 or MATH 105/108 at least one semester before declaring a business major. Transfer students may, at the discretion of the Business Undergraduate Advising Office, be granted a one-semester grace period to allow for grades in equivalent courses to arrive.

Honors in the Major:

Honors in the Major is a program of independent work in your major. It requires 6 units of honors course work completed over two semesters.

The Honors in the Major program allows you to work closely with a faculty mentor in your area of interest on an original performance or research project. This year-long collaboration allows you to work in your field at a professional level and culminates in a public presentation of your work. Students sometimes take their projects beyond the University for submission in professional journals, presentation at conferences, or academic competition. Such experience is valuable for graduate school and professional life. Your honors work will be recognized at your graduation, on your permanent transcripts, and on your diploma. It is often accompanied by letters of commendation from your mentor in the department or the department chair.

Some common features of Honors in the Major program are:

You must take 6 units of Honors in the Major course work. All 6 units are honors classes (marked by a suffix of H), and at least 3 of these units are independent study (399H, 499H, 599H) as specified by your department. You must complete each class with a minimum grade of B.
You must have completed 9 units of upper-division course work or 21 overall units in your major before you can be admitted to Honors in the Major. Check the requirements for your major carefully, as there may be specific courses that must be included in these units.
Your cumulative GPA should be at least 3.5 or within the top 5% of majors in your department.
Your GPA in your major should be at least 3.5 or within the top 5% of majors in your department.
Most students apply for or are invited to participate in Honors in the Major during the second semester of their junior year. Then they complete the 6 units of course work over the two semesters of their senior year.
Your honors work culminates with a public presentation of your honors project.

While Honors in the Major is part of the Honors Program, each department administers its own program. Please contact your major department or major advisor to apply.
