Note:  Completion of the required course load also earns students an undergraduate “Management Concentration”

In addition to the required coursework, all student applicants will need to take the Major Field Test (MFT) in Business Administration prior to being admitted into BUAD 499 – Business Policy.  The MFT is offered in December each year for interested candidates.
