Designed To Be Taken in Conjunction With a Major From Another School Within the University

Double Major in Business as a Secondary Major

  • Is distinct from the Busch School Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A.) and Bachelor of Science in Accounting (B.S.A.) degrees because it is designed to be taken only as a secondary major, part of a double major in conjunction with a major from one of the other Schools of the University.
  • Cannot be taken alone. Note: Students who wish to prepare for the Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) exam must complete the requirements of the B.S. in Accounting.
  • Is compatible with any major with 14 courses or fewer (although some overlap with the Liberal Arts core will be required in order to make the double-major work, and students needing introductory language courses may have to take summer courses).

The degree is open to students from any School, including Arts & Sciences, Philosophy, Theology & Religious Studies, and Music, Drama, & Art. The degree requirements in the Schools of Nursing, Engineering, and Architecture are presumed to be too many to admit of the possibility of this double-major. Course sequences can be set up in collaboration with each of the schools that choose to make the double major available to its students.

As part of a double major, it satisfies the Focus requirement of the Liberal Arts Core.

Students who meet the minimum requirement (have at least a 3.2 CUM GPA and have completed 60 credit hours) may use this form to:
