Academic Program
Each student majoring in one of the college's fields must take a core set of classes called the Bachelor of Business Administration Core. At the end of their sophomore year, students apply for admission into the College of Business. Admission into the college is competitive, and students must achieve a 2.7 grade point average in the COB prerequisite courses to be considered for admission. These classes are taken throughout the student's career culminating in a course called COB 300, which is a 12-credit integrated class where the student connects the fundamentals of business in four functional areas: management, marketing, operations, and finance. Students are separated into groups for the task of creating a business plan for a business they create. The grade on the business plan factors into the student's final grades in all four COB 300 courses.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or program:
“Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
—Jane Nelson (20th century)
“This program has helped me to keep physically healthy and to eat the right foods ... and that’s really what the swimsuit competition is about.”
—Kaye Lani Rae Rafko (b. 1968)
