2005-06 Undergraduate Catalog
Majors
The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (B.A.B.A.) provides students the opportunity to design a program of study that combines the fundamentals of business with an area of specialization other than business.
There is a minimum requirement of four courses/12 credits (3000-4000 level) for each area. Lists of approved courses for each area are available in Stuzin Hall, Room 267.
Students in the B.A.B.A. program are also required to take 11-12 hours of 3000/4000-level business courses beyond the core. These courses must be taken through the University of Florida. B.A.B.A. students may utilize one professional development course (GEB 3035, Career Management, or GEB 3213, Professional Writing in Business) to fulfill part of this requirement.
B.A.B.A. students are encouraged to complete one of these professional development experiences: an internship, a study abroad program, the University Scholars Program, McNair Scholars Achievement Program, extracurricular leadership experiences (e.g. philanthropic organizations, student organizations), or an honors thesis. Students should consult an academic adviser for specific information.
The tracking GPA is calculated based on all attempts of the tracking courses or their equivalents. Once a student receives a grade of C or higher in a tracking course or its equivalent, no subsequent grade in that course or its equivalent will be used in calculation of the tracking GPA.
