Annual "Application to Major"
Deadline, Thursday, January 20th
This coming week marks the single
opportunity students have this year to apply for their major in
Accounting, Business Administration or Economics. Since
nearly all upper-division School of Business and Economics
courses are restricted to SBE majors, getting into your
major should be your goal as soon as you qualify. If you
are ready,
apply
online here.

FROM
THE SPU CATALOG:
To meet the minimum requirements for admission to a
major, the student must:
- Have attained at least sophomore
standing.
- Have completed at least 15 credits
(10 credits for junior or senior transfer students)
in SBE courses (ACCT, BUS, ECN).
- Have a minimum of 2.7 cumulative
GPA from all institutions and a minimum of 2.7
cumulative GPA in all SBE courses.
Attainment of
the minimum GPA standards does not guarantee admission
to a major as the total number of admissions may be
limited by capacity. |
Interview with SBE Dean Jeff Van
Duzer Featured this Month in Christianity Today

Serving Christ wholeheartedly while pursuing a vocation in the

Read the interview in this month's Christianity Today,
prompted by Jeff's new book,
Why Business Matters to God, published by InterVarsity
Press.
