Core Curriculum in Business Administration


NOTE: This document was generated from the 1995-1997 UIUC Programs of Study. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but be advised that requirements may have changed since this book was published. Errors may have also been introduced in the conversion to a WWW document. Thus for items of importance, it might be wise to seek confrmation in the paper version or from a live human being.


Normally, students must register for not fewer than 12 hours or more than 18 hours in each semester. Students should take mathematics, economics, and accountancy courses in the semesters indicated in the sample schedule of courses. The computer science course must be taken during the first year. A required course that is failed must be repeated the next semester.

A student with fewer than 30 hours of credit is required to have his or her program for the semester approved by an adviser in the college office.

Up to 4 hours of credit in basic physical education may be counted in the 124 hours necessary for graduation. Physical education grades are counted in the graduation grade-point average.

Any course used to fill a specific degree requirement may not be taken on the credit-no credit grade option. Only free electives may be taken on the credit-no credit option.
