AUSBE's "Donuts with
the Dean", Thursday, November 1st, 9:30 - 10:20 a.m.,
McKenna Conference
Room, Featuring Dr. Gary Karns
You may not be thinking that
graduate school is in your future, but for many of you it
certainly is. Next month's AUSBE-sponsored
Donuts with the Dean event will feature Dr. Gary
Karns, Professor of Marketing and our Associate Dean for
Graduate Studies. This is your chance to look ahead
to your next degree (yes, there's more!) Ask Dr.
Karns about the
MBA,
both here at SPU and elsewhere. And Economics
students, business minors, or your non-SBE friends may
want to ask him about our amazing one-year Master of Arts
in Management (MASSM)
degree program.
Dr. Karns
also has a long history here in SBE at SPU, having joined
the faculty in 1979. He can tell you what life was
like before there was a McKenna Hall (built in 1983), or
when we all worked in cubicles instead of offices.
Come enjoy the refreshments and fellowship at our next
Donuts with the Dean gathering.

FACULTY
ADVISOR HOLDS?
I cannot remove Faculty Advisor Holds. Please
contact your Faculty Advisor and work with them to
form a schedule for next quarter. They will remove
the hold upon your schedule completion.
BUSINESS MINOR?
If you are a Business Minor, needing a major
restriction removed from a class you'd like to take,
please be sure you emailed me your Student ID
Number, the class, and the subject name and number
(i.e., Business Finance: BUS 3250). If you are not
formally admitted to one of our minors, please apply
online through the SBE website first:
//spu.edu/depts/sbe/ug/applying_minor.asp
SBE
INTENDED-MAJOR
(Applying this
Winter)
If you are an SBE intended-major wanting to register
for major-restricted classes for Winter, please
email me your Student ID Number, and the courses
you’d like to take. I will calculate your SBE and
Cumulative GPAs, and if they are both above 2.80, I
will lift major restrictions for you.
FRESHMEN
Make sure you’ve got one
of our core courses in your schedule for next
quarter. This could be Microeconomics (ECN 2101),
Macroeconomics (ECN 2102), Financial Accounting
(ACCT 2361), Managerial Accounting (ACCT 2362), or
Legal Environment of Business (BUS 2414). If you
have room, consider adding a 1 or 2 credit course on
top of that, like Spreadsheets (CSC 1123),
Managerial Communication (BUS 2600), or Internship
and Career Strategies (BUS 2910). I want you making
headway towards that 15 SBE credits, to be eligible
for admission next year! Thinking about Statistics?
We will have a special offering of Business
Statistics Fall 2013, which will incorporate the
Spreadsheets requirement! Consider holding off to
try out this option.
SOPHOMORES
All upper division SBE
courses will be restricted to you (they have
“major-restriction” holds on them). If you are
intending to apply to one of our majors this winter,
and have taken all lower division SBE courses
available, please email me
and request your GPA be
calculated for admission into upper division
courses. If you are considered “on track” for
admission with 2.80 cumulative and SBE GPAs, I will
lift the major restriction for you.
The
2012 Major Application window has been set.
You will be able to apply online between December 20th
and January 20th.
JUNIORS
If you’ve been admitted
to SBE, you should be on autopilot by now. Make sure
you’ve completed the pre-Internship course (BUS
2910), and be on the look-out for internship
opportunities! Now is also the time to start
thinking about what concentration (if any) you’d
like to complete, and start making headway. If you
intend on graduating within the next four quarters,
please login to your Banner account and apply to
graduate!
SENIORS
Have you completed your internship experience?
Then it’s probably time to register for BUS 4942,
Internship Reflection and Professional Development.
Here’s how: Complete the
Internship Reflection Course Approval Form
and be sure to obtain your Internship Supervisor’s
signature. Return the form to Christina McCracken’s
office (SUB 2nd) for her signature. Once SBE has
received word from the Center for Career and Calling
that you have permission to register for BUS 4942, I
will remove the registration restriction on the
course, allowing you to register as usual through
your Banner account.
