Major Requirements

Each major in Business Administration must complete the core requirements: 8 credits in economics, 4 credits in statistics, and 34 credits of BA courses including the senior capstone. Each student works with an academic advisor in the College to design a customized selection of elective courses that best fit the interests of the student. Students must select electives to achieve a specific area of concentration, for example in accounting, finance, marketing, international business, actuarial science and risk management, or integrated business.

A minimum 2.0 grade point average is required in all business and economics courses; only grades of C- or above (or “Pass”) may be used to satisfy College requirements. The business capstone, BA 490, must be completed in residence at Pacific. Students who are planning to attend graduate school are encouraged to take a year of calculus. Students planning a career as a Certified Public Accountant must complete 150 semester credits of college course work, which is the equivalent of five years of college, prior to taking the CPA exam.
