Normally a student will be expected to complete 6 ch in a single language. Excludes cultural awareness courses or courses from those departments, which are taught in English. Native speakers must choose courses in an alternate language.
  2. Students who plan to do more than the minimum requirements in Mathematics are advised to take MATH 1003 followed by MATH 1013 in their first year. These students should then take MATH 2003 to complete the Mathematics requirements for the BBA. (Note: Students cannot receive credit for both MATH 1833 and MATH 2003 .) Students who wish to continue in Mathematics must then take MATH 2013 since it is a prerequisite for other Mathematics courses.
  3. Course sequencing: BBA students are required to complete ADM 1113 and ADM 1165 during the first 15 ch. ADM1213 and ADM1313 during the first 30ch, and PHIL 2203 , ADM 2623 , and ADM 2166 , must be completed during the first 75 ch.
