Raj Soin College of Business
Departments/Major Programs
There are 10 major programs available to students in the Raj Soin College of Business. For those students who wish to major in business, but who do not know which major they are interested in, there is an undecided category. To ensure timely graduation, students are encouraged to select a major before the junior year. However, students may remain undecided until the middle of their junior year; by that time they will have had course work in all the major areas in business and will be in a better position to decide on a major. Advisors are available to help students with this decision. Students who intend to major in accountancy, management information systems, or operations management should declare their major before their junior year, because the major requirements follow a specific sequence. Generally, it is possible to change majors within business during the junior year without delaying graduation.
The course requirements of the freshmen and sophomore year are the same for all majors except management information systems and operations management and are listed below. Please note that accountancy, finance, and management information systems majors are required to complete ACC 203.
Required Courses - Majors in Business
An official list of major requirements will be mailed at the time the student is admitted to the college. Since this list represents a contract between the college and students, it is important that students meet with an advisor to review the requirements and sign the program of study form.
The program requirements listed on the following pages illustrate a recommended schedule for full-time students. Many individuals, especially part-time students, may not be able to schedule their classes as shown. However, they must complete all requirements and plan their schedule to ensure they observe prerequisite requirements of the courses.
