PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ADMISSION
REQUIREMENTS IN THE RED MCCOMBS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS CHAPTER OF THE
UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG, 2000-2002
| In Chapter 3, on page 42, in the section ADMISSION
AND REGISTRATION, under the heading REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
TO THE RED MCCOMBS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, make the following changes: |
STUDENTS IN OTHER DIVISIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY
Students enrolled in other degree programs at the University who wish
to enter a degree program described in this chapter must submit an application
for a change of major to the Undergraduate [Dean's] Programs
Office by June 1 to be considered for admission in the following fall
semester. The minimum requirements for admission are
| 1. |
Completion of twenty-four semester hours of coursework
in residence on the letter-grade basis by the end of the preceding
spring semester. |
| 2. |
Completion of Mathematics [403K] 408K
or 408C or the equivalent. |
| 3. |
Completion of at least one of the following courses:
Mathematics [403L,] 408L or 408D, Economics 304K,
304L. |
| 4. |
Students who have earned sixty hours or more
of college credit must have completed the following courses: Mathematics
408K or 408C, 408L or 408D, Economics 304K, 304L. |
[4.]5. |
Completion of the foreign language proficiency
requirement of two years of a single foreign language in high school
or one year of a single foreign language in college.
|
Admission is granted on a space-available
basis and may not be possible if instructional resources are not compatible
with enrollment demands. A student with a grade point average of less
than [3.00] 3.30 is unlikely to be admitted to the school.
Rationale: The change in mathematics reflects the proposed change
for all business students to requirement 4c on page 45. Mathematics
and economics are prerequisite courses for core business courses which,
in turn, are prerequisites for other business courses. Students who
enter the Red McCombs School of Business with sixty or more hours are
delayed in their progress toward the degree if they do not have these
courses completed prior to admission.
The change in the gpa more accurately reflects the true cutoff for admission
to the Red McCombs School of Business.
