It provides students with flexibility within the University Core and in the design of a business concentration, which can be tailored to meet individual academic and career interests. With the guidance of a Lubin academic counselor, students develop a 12-credit concentration in one of the approved business areas or in an interdisciplinary area, which may include related course work from outside the business school. All students are also required to complete one course in an international business subject, which can be in the same discipline as the concentration or another business area. The following University Core and Business Core courses may not be applied toward the concentration: ACC 203-204, CIS 101, ECO 105-106, FIN 301, LAW 101, MAR 250, MGT 250, MGT 355, MGT 490. Students are required to meet with an academic counselor in the Lubin Office of Undergraduate Academic Advisement either prior to enrolling in the Business Studies major or during their first semester of study. Earning Credit for Prior Learning Students who have accumulated considerable knowledge as a result of their work experience or other opportunities for learning outside of a formal academic setting may be eligible to receive college credits for their experiential learning. Students will be required to participate in the Experiential Learning Assessment (ELA) process to determine whether their experiential learning meets the curriculum and academic standards of the University and merits the awarding of college credits. Students may apply a maximum of 36 credits earned through the ELA process toward the Business Studies major. Credit may also be earned through CLEP (College Level Examination Program) and other recognized college-level examinations. For further information about the ELA process and CLEP, please contact the Office of Adult and Continuing Education.
