Having a business degree puts you one step ahead of other job seekers. As a Business major, you'll also acquire valuable communication, critical thinking, research, and analytical skills that will help you succeed in any career.
In order to graduate with an undergraduate business degree from CSULB, a student must complete a minimum of 120 units. A majority of the upper division business courses, including economics and statistics, must be completed at this university.
All undergraduate students officially admitted to the College of Business Administration (all options) are required to complete all remaining lower division major requirements in a timely fashion. The lower division major courses must be completed within two academic semesters (excluding summer and winter session) to continue with the major. An exception will be made for the undergraduates in the Accountancy option who elect to take CBA 400 or PHIL 400, instead of PHIL160 to satisfy the Ethics requirements.
All CBA majors must maintain major GPAs of 2.0 or higher. A student whose GPA in the major falls below 2.0 will be advised that they are at risk of being dismissed from the major and granted one semester to raise their major GPA(s) to 2.0. Students who do not successfully raise their major GPA(s) must meet with an advisor to declare another major or submit an appeal to the CBA Center for Student Success explaining why they need one additional semester. Students whose major GPAs remain below 2.0 after this additional semester must declare a new major.
