Emens, M.B.A., University of Toledo, 1953 Arnold Stebinger, B.A., Columbia University, 1938 Overview Degree Programs The Moore School of Business offers programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. The curriculum prescribed for the B.S. in Business Administration provides for specialization in one of eight fields: accounting, business economics, finance, insurance and risk management, management, management science, marketing, and real estate. The degree program emphasizes a strong liberal arts background. Entrance Requirements In addition to the academic admission requirements of the Moore School of Business stated below, a limit on admission to the program may be imposed. An enrollment limit would become necessary if enrollment levels exceed school staffing capabilities and resources. The Undergraduate Admissions Committee, in consultation with the dean of the school, shall be responsible for adjusting undergraduate enrollment levels to ensure the quality of the undergraduate program. A student who meets admissions criteria will be favorably considered, but because of space limitations admission cannot be guaranteed. Freshmen entering the USC Columbia prebusiness division of the Moore School of Business must meet the campus requirements for admission. Students from other USC campuses who have no work from colleges outside of USC must have a GPA of 3.00 on all work taken and must have taken at least 15 USC credit hours to include calculus with a minimum grade of C. Additionally, those students who have fewer than 30 semester hours from colleges outside USC must also meet Columbia campus freshman admission requirements. Students enrolled in other colleges on the Columbia campus must have a minimum GPA of 3.00 on all work taken and must have at least 15 USC credit hours to include calculus with a minimum grade of C. Transfer students from other institutions must present a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 on all college work taken to include calculus with a minimum grade of C. Students who have taken fewer than 30 semester hours of college work must also meet Columbia campus freshman admission requirements. Progression Requirements The requirements stated below are minimum requirements and are subject to change as stated in the last paragraph of this section. To continue in the sophomore year of the prebusiness division of the Moore School of Business, a student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.60 on a minimum of 24 hours. The 24 hours must include ENGL 101 and 102, UNIV 101, THSP 140 or 230, MGSC 190, MATH 122 or 141, and either math at the next higher level or PHIL 110, with a minimum grade of C in each of these courses. A student not meeting these requirements must transfer out of the prebusiness division of the Moore School of Business. To be admitted to the upper division of the Moore School of Business, a student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.60 on a minimum of 48 hours. The 48 hours must include ENGL 101 and 102, UNIV 101, THSP 140 or 230, MGSC 190, MATH 122 or 141 and either math at the next higher level or PHIL 110, ECON 224, ACCT 222, MGSC 291, and MGMT 250 or ENGL 463, with a minimum grade of C in each of these courses. All majors in the Moore School of Business will be expected to pass all business administration and economics courses with a minimum grade of C. Students repeating a business administration or economics course more than once may not use the course toward a degree in business administration. Dual Degrees. Currently enrolled students from other USC colleges who expect to obtain a second baccalaureate degree from the Moore School of Business must meet regular admission and progression requirements of the school and formally apply and be accepted by the school prior to obtaining 75 hours. Classes. Enrollment priority will be given business majors who are in good academic standing in all business and economics classes. Suspension. The Moore School of Business adheres to the University’s general policy on suspension. Graduation. All students admitted to the Moore School of Business effective fall 2000, and thereafter, must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 on all USC work attempted, in order to obtain a degree from the Moore School of Business. Attendance Requirements Students are expected to attend all regular class meetings. Students must conform to University attendance regulations as stated in the section entitled "Academic Regulations." Where specific faculty policies regarding attendance are more stringent, they will be stated in writing for individual courses. Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (121 hours minimum) The business administration curriculum allows sufficient flexibility for adaptation to a student’s particular interests and goals. A minimum of 121 hours is required for the B.S. degree. They are divided between courses in business administration and general education courses in English, history, foreign languages, natural and behavioral sciences, and other disciplines. All business administration students are required to earn 33–34 hours in a common core sequence of business subjects. A minimum of 12 additional hours constitutes the major field of specialization. The business administration curriculum also includes 12 to 18 hours of advisor approved course work to be taken in business or economics. If the major field of specialization requires more than 12 hours, the remaining business or economics course work is reduced accordingly. Students have the option of using the 12–18 hours of advisor approved courses, if available, in directed general education courses. The school has developed options designed to complement core and major requirements. Structured areas of concentration and specialization are available in such areas as entrepreneurship and management of human resources. Information and assistance in the development and selection of options are available through the advising facilities of the school. Degree Requirements 1.
