Admission Requirements for Business Majors
To ensure a meaningful educational experience, we require that students are required to complete the majority of their general education requirements prior to enrolling in any upper division business courses. The core curriculum provides general knowledge and skills in language, communication, quantitative techniques and analysis, and scientific techniques as well as historical, social, political, and economic foundations upon which modern business is based. This background allows the student to study the specific business disciplines and to place them in appropriate context.
All aspiring business majors entering Georgia Regents University under the 2006-2007 catalog or after will be designated as Pre-Accounting, Pre-Finance, Pre-Management, Pre-Marketing, or Pre-MIS majors. Upon meeting the prerequisites for admission into the HCoB, students will select one of the following majors: Accounting, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, or Marketing. The Career and Academic Planning (CAP) Center in the James M. Hull College of Business will provide advising services to pre-business majors as well as to those in the specific business majors.
The prerequisites for entry into the James M. Hull College of Business are as follows: (1) Completion of at least 45 semester hours of courses; and (2) Completion of the following courses with an overall GPA of 2.5 on these six courses: ENGL 1101 , ENGL 1102 , MATH 1111 , ACCT 2101 , ECON 2106 (or ECON 2105 ), and MINF 2201 . Students may retake any of these courses and only the most recent grade in the course will count toward the minimum required GPA. Once the prerequisites have been met, the student will automatically be admitted into the Hull College of Business.
Requirements for Computer Science Majors
Students choosing to enter the James M. Hull College of Business as Computer Science majors will be designated as Pre-Computer Science until the following required pre-requisites are met: (1) Completion of CSCI 1302 with a grade of C or better. CSCI 1302 requires successful completion of CSCI 1301 which requires successful completion of MATH 1113 or MATH 1220 .
Prerequisites and Course Sequencing
In some cases specific courses are listed as prerequisites. If a course is listed specifically as a prerequisite, it must be successfully completed prior to enrolling in the course for which it is a prerequisite. The two courses may not be taken concurrently. A course rotational plan is available in the Career and Academic Planning (CAP) Center so that business and computer science majors may best plan their courses in order to make the most efficient use of their time in the classroom.
It is important that the students’ major courses be taken during both the junior and senior years. Although all major courses are offered regularly, they may not be offered each semester during both day and evening hours. For this reason, it is important to learn which courses are required and to note their scheduling patterns. Failure to take a course when it is offered, withdrawing from, or failing a course will most likely lead to delays in the graduation process.
To help maximize student success, the James M. Hull College of Business requires all students to meet with their advisor prior to registration. Students will receive a Term PIN only after discussing their pending schedules with an advisor in the CAP Center.
