BS/Business Management Curriculum

The following text is taken from The University of Findlay's current undergraduate and/or graduate catalog.

The bachelor's degree completion programs in business management, criminal justice, and environmental, safety, and health management are either offered at off-campus sites or online (Internet). They are intended for working adults who have at least 62 transferable semester hours at the "C" or better level. These bachelor's degree completion programs consist of the last 62 semester hours for a total of 124 semester hours. ** Students accepted into these programs also must meet University competency requirements in the areas of math, writing, communication, and computer science. Some competencies must be met before enrollment in certain courses in the program, while others may be fulfilled any time before completion of the program. Assessment tests are available in each competency area, or acceptable courses may be transferred in.  Prerequisites for the BSEM program include inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. These or their transfer equivalents must be taken before BSEM 325 and BSEM 405. There are no additional prerequisites for the BSCJ Program.

Courses, whether in-class or on-line, meet once a week in eight-week blocks, with two successive blocks comprising a semester. Two courses per block are the usual full-time load. Those attending full time may finish in four semesters, if they have 62 transferable hours and meet all competencies and prerequisites. Online courses also are offered in the summer. 

The 62 semester hours required for the completion programs consist of 20 semester hours of general education and 42 semester hours of major courses. All courses are worth four semester hours except for two one-hour topics courses in BSAD, a two-hour research methods class in BSEM, and a two-hour readings course in BSCJ. General education courses are interdisciplinary in nature, integrating two or more academic areas. Some courses from four-year institutions may be transferred in to substitute for some of the 62 hours required for the degree completion program. At least the last 30 hours must be taken at The University of Findlay.

Application packets are available from the Graduate and Special Programs Office or you may apply online at www.findlay.edu.
