Students who have not made satisfactory progress within this period will no longer be permitted to continue in the WCBA. Advisors are available for consultation regarding other major opportunities.

To declare a business major, students are required to have: 1) junior standing, 2) the completion of English Writing II, and all Business Tool courses with a minimum grade of C and, 3) a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. Students who wish to declare a business major must apply with an academic advisor in Williamson Hall, room 408.
