GPA
A minimum grade-point average of 2.0 must be achieved in the major and/or
minor field, as well as in all College work and in all USF work, for
students to be certified for graduation.
CLAST and Gordon Rule
Students must have satisfactorily completed CLAST and the writing and computation
course requirements as outlined in the Student Catalog (the “Gordon
Rule” requirements).
Foreign Language
For a Bachelor of Arts degree, students must demonstrate competency in
a foreign language (please refer to the Academic Policies and Procedures
section of the current student catalog). The College of Business does
not approve American Sign Language for the Foreign Language Exit Requirement.
Residency
College of Business Administration residency requirements for graduation
exceed the minimum requirements established for USF. Students are required
to complete satisfactorily at USF a minimum of 50 percent (32 semester
hours for the MIS curriculum) of required business courses, including
12-18 semester hours in the major field. Normally, independent study
and independent research courses do not fulfill this requirement.
International Course Requirement
All business students are required to select at least one course that deals
with contemporary international topics. This course can be included in
the business, non-business, or elective category. Consult with a business
advisor for suggestions on acceptable courses.
No S/U courses in Major or Minor
All courses in the major or minor field and all Foundation in Business
coursework must be taken on a graded basis; the S/U option is not available.
