GENERAL BUSINESS MAJOR
Bachelor of Business Administration
The General Business major is intended for adult students who are returning to school. It is a
flexible program that allows students to design with the guidance of a Lubin academic adviser a
concentration consisting of 12 credits of upper-level study in a business area that is tailored to
meet their academic and career interests. Students may concentrate in one of the approved
business areas listed below or develop an interdisciplinary concentration, which may include
related course work from outside the business school. All students are also required to complete
one course in international business, which can be in the same discipline as the concentration or
another business area. The following University Core and Business Core courses may not be
applied toward the Concentration: ACC 203-204, CIS 101, ECO 105-106, FIN 260, LAW 101,
MAR 250, MGT 250, 355, 490. Students are required to meet with an academic adviser in the
Lubin Office of Undergraduate Academic Advisement prior to enrolling in the General Business
major.
Earning Credit for Prior Learning
Students who are 25 years of age or older and have accumulated considerable knowledge as a
result of five or more years of full-time work experience with increasing responsibilities on a
managerial level or other opportunities for learning outside of a formal academic setting may be
eligible to receive college credits for their experiential learning. Students will be required to
participate in the Experiential Learning Assessment (ELA) process to determine whether their
experiential learning meets the curriculum and academic standards of the University and merits
the awarding of college credits. Students interested in earning ELA credits are advised to enroll in
INT 196B Prior Learning Assessment Seminar (2 credits) to learn how to write and organize their
experiences into a professional portfolio. Students may apply a maximum of 36 credits earned
through the ELA process toward the General Business major. Students need permission to enroll
in INT 196B . Credit may also be earned through CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
and other recognized college-level examinations. For further information about ELA and CLEP,
please contact Adult and Continuing Education in the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
