Policies
Candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Business degree and the Associate
of Science in Business degree should review “General Requirements
for All Degrees at IUS,” found in the “Academic Programs” section
of the IUS bulletin. While each student is responsible for his or her
own progress toward a degree, the faculty and academic advisors for the
School of Business are available for advice concerning courses, requirements,
and the curriculum best suited to the student’s goals. To ensure the quality
of the student’s educational experience,
the following policies are in place for all degrees:
- The student must successfully complete a minimum of 124 credit
hours for the bachelor’s degree and 63 credit hours for the
associate degree with a minimum overall grade point average of at
least 2.0 (not including developmental courses such as English W100,
Education X150, and Mathematics M007).
- Students are admitted to the
School of Business with a minimum overall grade point average of
2.0 and a minimum grade point average of 2.3 in English W131 (course
minimum “C”) or W231 and two
of the following courses; Economics E100 or E200 or Business A201.
- For
the bachelor’s degree, 45 of the 124 credit hours
must be at the 300 to 400 level (including business core, concentration,
general-education, and elective courses).
- An overall grade point average
of 2.0 is required in business and economics courses.
- The last 30 credit
hours toward a bachelor’s degree must be
taken at IUS, the last 15 credit hours for an associate degree must
be taken at IUS.
- In general, for a course to count toward a business degree,
a minimum grade of C- is required unless otherwise noted.
- Students
who drop out of the university for longer than one year will automatically
move to the most recent course requirements on resuming their studies.
- At least half of all required business courses must be taken at IUS. This
rule applies to all students including those earning a second degree or
a Business minor.
- Students must apply for their degree in the School of Business
Office (Hillside Hall 214) six months before graduation.
- Credit by examination
may be earned in COAS W100 Introduction to Business, BUS A201-A202 Introduction
to Accounting I-II, E100 Current Economic Topics, E200 Fundamentals
of Economics, or BUS L201 Legal Environment of Business. Contact the Student
Development Center, Knobview Hall 235, or phone (812) 941-2312 for information
about these examinations.
- Academic Advising: Beginning business students
are advised in the University Division and are encouraged to take courses
in both the general-education area and the appropriate business core
courses. Once admitted to the School of Business, students are encouraged
to meet regularly with an academic advisor or faculty member to discuss career
and academic issues.
- Students completing internships for credit earn pass or fail grades only.
