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 Lubin School of Business. 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,
MGT 355, MGT 490. Students are required to meet with an academic adviser in the Lubin Office of
Undergraduate Academic Advisement at least once a semester for guidance in planning their
program and registering for classes for the next semester.
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.
