Business
Majors
The School of Business offers four
majors leading to the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.): Accounting,
Management, Marketing, and General Business.
Students planning to seek a B.B.A. are
initially classified as “pre-business” majors.
In order to officially be classified into one of the majors, students must meet the
formal requirements for admission to the B.B.A. (See item 6 under B.B.A. requirements.) Students are significantly limited in the number
of upper division School of Business courses that they may take prior to formal B.B.A.
admission. (Admission to the B.B.A. is often
also referred to as “Admission to the School of Business.”)
This
office is responsible for assisting students in the School of Business with the
development of an academic plan, career plan, teaching the Clayton State University 1000B orientation course,
and coordinating student services such as scholarships, student clubs, etc. The office exists to provide one-on-one advising
to ensure that students meet graduation requirements in a timely fashion and are informed
of the programs and services available to them in the college. (BHS-11, 770-961-3737)
Placement
Assistance
The Clayton State University Office of
Counseling and Career Services, located in the Student Center, maintains a job placement
service especially attuned to the needs of business graduates. Information about these and other career services
may be found in this catalog in the Services for Students chapter.
Students in the
School of Business must meet all University admission, academic progression, and
graduation requirements (see the Graduation Requirements section). In addition, the Bachelor of Business
Administration (B.B.A.) has the following program-specific requirements:
1. Clayton State University
1000B. First Year Student Seminar for Business Majors:
Success in Clayton State University. All freshman business majors
are required to take this course. It is strongly recommended that Clayton State University 1000B be taken the
first semester at Clayton State; the course must be taken before the student completes 30
hours of college credit. (Students who
completed Clayton State University 1000 or CSOR 0098 prior to becoming business majors are exempt from Clayton State University
1000B, but their advisor may recommend School of Business orientation activities.)
2. Mathematics
Requirement. All B.B.A. students must complete MATH 1231,
Introductory Statistics, or higher numbered math. Students
with appropriate placement scores are encouraged to take MATH 1231 or higher in Area A. Other students should take MATH 1231 in Area D or
as a non-business elective. MATH 1231 is
prerequisite to BUSA 3101, which is a required B.B.A. course.
3. Writing
Assessment. All
B.B.A. students are required to pass the official School of Business writing assessment
prior to enrollment in MGMT 4750. The
official writing assessment is administered in MGMT 3120, Managerial Communication. Transfer students who are granted credit
equivalent for MGMT 3120 must take the official writing assessment during the first term
of Clayton State University enrollment in which they take an upper division business course. (Transfer students must contact the School of
Business for information about assessment procedures.)
Students who fail to pass
the official School of Business writing assessment are required to enroll in WLAB 2999, Writing Laboratory
II. Such students must enroll in WLAB 2999
for their next term of attendance and in each subsequent term until they have passed the
official writing assessment by earning a grade of C
or better in the course. Students who are
required to take WLAB 2999 but neglect to do so are subject to having their registration
in other courses cancelled.
4. Residency Requirements.
In addition to general Clayton State University baccalaureate residency requirements, the B.B.A. has the
following additional restrictions:
a. At
least 30 hours of business courses must be taken from Clayton State University.
Business courses are defined as any course with the following prefixes:
·
ACCT,
FINA, MGMT, MKTG;
·
BUSA
(except BUSA 2201, 3111, 3112, and 3113).
b. ECON
2105 and 2106 cannot be counted toward the residency requirement.
c. At
least 21 of the 30 hours of business courses must be upper division.
d. Of
the 21 upper division business hours that must be taken from Clayton State University, the following must be included:
·
MGMT
4750, Strategic Management;
·
for
Accounting majors, at least 12 hours of ACCT prefix numbered higher than ACCT 2102;
·
for
Management majors, at least 12 hours of MGMT prefix numbered higher than MGMT 3101;
·
for
Marketing majors, at least 12 hours of MKTG prefix numbered higher than MKTG 3101;
·
for
General Business majors, at least 12 hours of business courses numbered higher than 3101
(not counting MGMT 4750).
5. Area F Grades. Students must earn a grade of C or better in all Area F courses. Some grades
must be higher see #6e.
6. Admission
to the B.B.A. Program (Admission to the School of Business). Students intending
to enroll in the B.B.A. program must meet all University admission and academic
requirements. In addition, applicants must satisfy the following additional requirements
in order to be admitted to the B.B.A. program:
a. Have an overall institutional
Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.00. (If a
student has no Clayton State University GPA, admission is based on transfer grades.)
b. Have completed 60 semester credit
hours.
c. Satisfactorily complete the six
Area F business courses with grades of C or better in all courses.
d. Satisfactorily complete MATH 1231
with a grade of C or better.
e. Earn a GPA of at least 2.28 in the
six Area F business courses and MATH 1231. (For
purposes of this GPA calculation, transfer and transient grades count and grades of K
will be counted as the equivalent of C.)
f. Successfully complete (or be
exempt from) both parts of the Regents’ Test (Essay and Reading).
Students who plan to major in
business will be admitted to Clayton State University as pre-business majors. Upon meeting the aforementioned
requirements, pre-business students are required to apply for admission into a business
major in the School of Business.
Transfer students will be
required to meet the same criteria as Clayton State University students.
For transfer students who meet the admissions requirements, the application
deadline for the School of Business will be the same as the application deadline for the
University.
An application form may be
obtained on the web at http://business.clayton.edu,
from the School of Business in BHS-11 (770-961-3410), or from the Office of Student
Advisement. Students will be notified of
acceptance both by formal letter and by e-mail.
A student not
admitted into the B.B.A. program may elect to repeat courses that were not satisfactorily
completed and that disqualified him or her from admission.
If a student elects to repeat such courses and receives grades that meet the above
criteria, the student may reapply for admission to the B.B.A. program.
7. Academic Progression: Number of attempts in
business courses limited to three (3). All normal University policies on academic
standing (probation, suspension, and dismissal) and course repeats apply to the School of
Business (See Chapter Four). In addition,
students may attempt a given School of Business course a maximum of only three (3) times.
In other words, a student will NOT be allowed to attempt a course a fourth time. An attempt is defined as receiving W, WF, F, U, or
D. (Excludes W$ and WM). Transfer and
transient attempts count in the maximum of attempts for purposes of this policy.*
* Transfer students who
have already exhausted two or three attempts at previous institutions will be granted one
attempt at Clayton State University. Other exceptions may be
requested only upon written appeal to the dean and will be granted only in special
circumstances that indicate a strong likelihood of success.
8. Upper Division Grades. All upper division courses (including transfer
courses) applied toward graduation (except for non-business electives) must be completed
with a grade of C or better (or K). (K grade is given for credit by examination, e.g.,
CLEP).
9. Transfer Credit. The School of Business normally accepts equivalent or substitutable transfer courses toward graduation at Clayton State University; however, the School reserves the right to determine whether credit earned at other institutions can be applied toward graduation. Acceptance of transfer credit by the University does not guarantee that it will be applied toward B.B.A. requirements. In general, credit for courses completed at other institutions must have been taken at the same level as the equivalent course at Clayton State University. If a course similar to an upper division Clayton State University course has been taken at the lower-division level, the student may, in some cases, be allowed to validate the credit by passing a proficiency examination in the subject area.
10. Prerequisites. Students
should pay careful attention to course prerequisites in order to sequence courses
appropriately in their programs of work. This
is especially important at the sophomore-junior transition and as students near the end of
their graduation requirements. All business prerequisites for School of Business
courses require that a student earn a grade of C
or better (or K) in the prerequisite business
courses before the student may take a course requiring the prerequisite. See the Course Descriptions chapter to determine
prerequisites for each course. A student may be
removed from any course for which he or she has not met the prerequisite. Only the
Dean and Associate Dean of Business have the authority to waive prerequisites for School
of Business courses.
11. Policy on credit by exam in
business courses for BBA majors. For the
BBA, grades of K (credit by exam such as CLEP) will be accepted only for
microeconomics (ECON 2106), macroeconomics (ECON 2106), and Financial Accounting (ACCT
2101). Transfer students will be required to meet the same criteria as Clayton State University students. (CLEP credit for other business courses may be
allowed in non BBA majors. Contact the appropriate school or college for details.
The B.B.A. curriculum is designed
to enable all graduates to meet the following ten learning outcomes that apply to all
majors. In addition, each major within the B.B.A. has additional field-specific learning
outcomes which are listed with the appropriate curricula later in this chapter.
1. Continuous
Management Improvement. In
a competitive business situation, graduates will be able to analyze the task environment,
specify strategic goals and objectives, provide essential organization structure,
establish proper management controls, and effect continuous management improvement.
2. Interpersonal
Communication. Graduates will possess the interpersonal skills
required for success in business settings.
3. Solving
Business Problems. Under realistic business conditions involving high
risk, time pressure, and uncertainty, graduates will have the ability to diagnose
unstructured business problems, critically evaluate the management alternatives available,
and implement effective plans of action.
4. Understanding
the business environment. Graduates will understand today’s global
economy, the open systems environment in which modern business operates, and the impact of
cultural diversity in the workplace.
5. utilizing
quantitative information. Graduates
will prepare and use financial and other quantitative information for business
decision-making purposes such as estimating, budgeting, and forecasting, but with full,
explicit recognition of the limitations of such information.
6. influencing
the behavior of other workers. When employed, graduates will be able to influence
other workers’ behavior in an effective, efficient, and ethical manner that elicits
full performance potential, respects human dignity, accommodates individual differences,
and promotes team-building.
7. computer
literacy. Graduates will be computer-literate and use modern
computer-based management information systems to improve their management performance and
decision-making ability.
8. critical
thinking. Well-developed proactive critical thinking skills
will be evident from practice gained in progressive, carefully assessed business
problem-solving situations.
9. understanding
the legal environment of business. Graduates will know how the law impacts business
administration and possess an excellent working knowledge of generic legal issues in human
resource management.
10. preparation
for continued professional development. Graduates will enhance their continued
professional development in business administration by their demonstrated fluency in the
language of business and their proven ability to use business literature and research for
personal growth and applied problem-solving.
