Students may take or use any course at any level as long as the minimum 39-hour requirement for upper-division courses is satisfied for graduation with a B.B.A. Exceptions: Maximum 4 credit hours of physical education activity (PEB) courses and maximum 4 credit hours for courses in applied music and music ensembles (MUS courses with a second digit of 5, 6 or 7) combined may be counted toward the 120-total hour or 39-upper-division-hour graduation requirement.  General elective courses may be selected from any area and at any level provided students do not go over the PEB, applied music and ensemble music restriction and they satisfy the 39 hour upper-division requirements. There is no limit on other music coursework. Any other exceptions must be approved by the assistant dean. Credit for ENG 11001 or MATH 10023 or 10024 may apply toward general electives.

Special notes for major:

  • Students are admitted into the Managerial Marketing major in fall semester only.
  • The curriculum is to be taken in sequence. Not all courses are offered each semester. Students should obtain from the department a copy of the schedule of course sequencing.
  • Normally, MMTG courses may be repeated only once. Exceptions require the approval of the department chair and the assistant dean of the college.
  • Only three Managerial Marketing major (3/45000) courses may be repeated and counted toward the major. Exceptions require the approval of the department chair. All attempts count in the computation of the major, upper-division business and cumulative GPA.
  • Entrepreneurship majors who are also majoring in Managerial Marketing, and who have taken Sales in the Entrepreneurial Venture (ENTR 37045), are not required to take Sales and Sales Management (MMTG 45030 for the Managerial Marketing major. However, a double major in entrepreneurship and Managerial Marketing cannot waive ENTR 37045 by taking MMTG 45030.
