Undergraduate School
Undergraduates work toward a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA). The curriculum combines business and liberal arts courses to provide a strong foundation in critical thinking and reasoning. The primary academic emphasis during the first and second years is the liberal arts, notably economics, government, history, philosophy, English, calculus, and theology. Coursework usually shifts to mostly business courses in the junior and senior years, but this can vary depending on how a student constructs his or her schedule. Students must complete both 40 courses and 120 semester hours of liberal arts courses, business core courses, courses supporting a major or minor, and free electives.
The McDonough School of Business has core courses in the traditional disciplines of accounting, finance, marketing, management, and the decision sciences support these themes. Additionally these themes are supported by the school's strong support of minor concentrations among nearly 50 liberal arts disciplines. About one third of undergraduates choose to double major. Undergraduate concentrations include accounting, finance, international business, management, marketing, and operations and information management (OPIM). During the 2008-2009 admissions cycle the undergraduate school received 2,876 applications, admitting 600, or 21 percent, of applicants. The 25th and 75th percentiles of the admitted students' SAT scores were 640 and 730 for Critical Reading, and 680 and 770 for Mathematics, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
