All majors must complete a minimum of 50 semester hours in the University Core Curriculum.

A student's major area of specialized study and the University Core Curriculum complement each other. The former provides knowledge that distinguishes us from one another in our diverse walks of life; the latter provides knowledge and abilities that all educated people share. By joining the two, the University can accomplish its primary mission of preparing students to live wisely.

College of Business majors must complete specific courses in mathematics, social behavior, global communities, and synthesis to provide the necessary background in analytical tools and behavioral sciences upon which the advanced study of management is based.
