BSBA as a Second Bachelor's Degree
All BSBA concentrations require 18 credit hours, except Accounting, which requires 24 credit hours.
Some concentrations or secondary concentrations require students to earn a “C+” or better in specific foundation courses. Specifically, MKT 3310 is the foundation course for the Marketing concentration as well as for the Marketing secondary concentration. MKT 3310 & MKT 3100 are the foundation courses for Sales concentration as well as for the Sales secondary concentration. Finally, FNBK 3250 & FNBK 3300 are the foundation courses for the Business Finance, Banking and Financial Markets, and Investment Science & Portfolio Management concentrations as well as the Business Finance, Banking and Financial Markets, and Investment Science & Portfolio Management secondary concentrations.
To meet requirements for the BSBA degree, students must earn a minimum of 120 credit hours in courses acceptable to the College of Business Administration: 42 of those credits must be upper division courses (3000-4000 level), with the following requirements:
- Business GPA of 2.50 or above
- Cumulative GPA of 2.50 or above
- GPA of 2.50 or above for all upper division accounting courses (excluding ACCT 3000, ACCT 4500, and ACCT 4510) for the accounting concentration and secondary concentration.
- No grade below a “C” (2.0) will be counted as satisfactory completion of BSBA degree MAJOR REQUIREMENTS, including CBA BSBA business core courses, BSBA concentration courses, business elective courses, ENGL 1150, ENGL 1160, CMST 1110 and MATH 1370 (or MATH 1930).
An Advising hold will be placed if a student does not meet the 2.5 GPA. The hold will not be removed until the requirements are met or the student chooses a major outside the College of Business Administration.

Students who previously earned a business degree cannot earn a second business degree. If a student completes all requirements (including any necessary prerequisites) associated with an additional BSBA concentration after earning a business degree, the student’s transcript will only list the courses completed, not the additional BSBA concentration. If desired, upon completion of all BSBA concentration requirements, the student may request (through CBA’s Undergraduate Advising Office) a letter indicating that the student has completed all requirements for the additional BSBA concentration.
