BSBA as a Second Bachelor's Degree
All BSBA majors or concentrations require 18 credit hours, except the Accounting major, which requires 24 credit hours.
Some majors, concentrations, and minors require students to earn a “C+” or better in specific foundation courses. Specifically, MKT 3310 is the foundation course for the Marketing major as well as for the Marketing minor. MKT 3310 & MKT 3100 are the foundation courses for Sales concentration as well as for the Sales minor. Finally, FNBK 3250 & FNBK 3300 are the foundation courses for the Business Finance, Banking, and Investment Science 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 major.
-
In order to fulfill BSBA degree requirements, BSBA core courses, BSBA major courses, and BSBA concentration courses must be completed on a letter grade basis with a grade of “C” or higher. The required BSBA Business Math course (MATH 1370 or MATH 1930) and the required BSBA Second Speech course are excluded from this requirement.
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 major or concentration after earning a business degree, the student’s transcript will only list the courses completed, not the additional BSBA major or concentration. If desired, upon completion of all BSBA major or 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 major or concentration.
