Business, Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science in Business is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge required to operate in an ever-changing business environment. The students will acquire fundamental, practical and professional skills in all phases of business. Graduates of the major will successfully apply the knowledge and skills acquired in their academic program to the workplace. The major will prepare the students for careers in all types of organizations and/or entrance into graduate school.
Admission and Progression
Students may declare a business major upon admission to Presentation College. New students admitted on probation may declare a business major but will not be admitted to the program until they have completed the Success Academy requirements.
A growth plan will be developed for business students who fail to maintain a minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA in their business courses in any given semester. This signed growth plan will be provided to the students as well as copied in their official academic file. This growth plan will address:
- The process the students will take to increase their GPA to meet graduation requirements.
- The length of time the student has to increase their GPA to meet graduation requirements.
Graduation
A Bachelor of Science degree in Business is granted by Presentation College to those candidates who have completed the 120-credit requirement as described in the curriculum plan and who have met all degree requirements of Presentation College. Students must also:
- Achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.00;
- Achieve a 2.50 GPA for all business courses (Business courses are those with prefixes BU, BSA, CS, or EC);
- Take the business exit examination.
Supplemental Activities in Business
Although the classroom and internship experiences are the major components of the educational process, they are not the only means of learning available. Students are encouraged to supplement their formal coursework by becoming active in student organizations. The business program hosts an active Phi Beta Lambda chapter which provides experiences essential in the areas of leadership, cooperation, and professional development.
The PC Help Desk also offers opportunities for technical experience through internships and/or work-study positions. The PC Help Desk offers technical assistance and troubleshooting to students, faculty, and staff of Presentation College.
