Pre-Major Business Core (25-30 hours)
Prior to gaining admission to the Beacom School of Business majors, students complete the University’s General Education Requirements and Pre-Major Business Core necessary for acceptance. Students are not eligible for enrollment in 300/400 level business courses until they have met the requirements for admission to their majors. Please see ADMISSION TO THE BEACOM SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MAJORS . The following courses are referred to as the Pre-Major Business Core and must be completed before full admission to the School of Business major is granted: Complete the following courses (51 hours):
In addition to completing the pre-major business core , students must complete the following courses. (USD Community College for Sioux Falls students should reference the rotation schedule provided through the USD Community College for Sioux Falls website.) Elective Categories
Advanced Electives Courses at the junior-senior level chosen from any college/school at USD on the basis of the student’s interest are called Advanced Electives. University Honors courses at the 300/400 level are also considered Advanced Electives. School of Business Electives Courses at the junior-senior level that must be selected in the fields of accounting, business administration, business law, decision sciences, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, health services administration, human resource management, management, or marketing are called School of Business Electives. If a student majors in two or more business majors, the School of Business Elective may be used for the required coursework of the second major. Electives Courses chosen from any college/school at USD on the basis of the student’s interest are called Electives. These electives may be at any level and are only tested by meeting the 120 credit hour requirement. B.B.A. / M.B.A. Fast-Track Option
Business majors meeting requirements for entry into the Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program may opt to complete both the B.B.A and M.B.A. concurrently. Students who pursue this fast-track option will be awarded their undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously, upon completion of the two programs. Permission to be awarded the undergraduate degree prior to the completion of the graduate degree is available. The course requirements for the B.B.A., which are listed above, are the same for USD undergraduate students planning to pursue the B.B.A./M.B.A. Fast-Track Option. The program gives students the opportunity to begin their M.B.A. program earlier and complete both programs in a timelier manner. Students must complete the requirements of the M.B.A. program in accordance with the graduate catalog. The minimum number of credits to achieve both degrees is 153 hours. Four-Year Program Guides and Costs
USD encourages students to take 15 credits per semester or 30 credits within the year in order to graduate in 4 years. To help students complete their academic degree program in four years, we provide a sample academic plan. Please work with your academic advisor to confirm your plan.
