Academic Policies

The College of Business Administration accepts transfer credit from other universities subject to policies set forth in the College of Business Administration's Academic Polices and Procedures (available in the college's Office of Undergraduate Programs).

A business student must complete 124 hours of required course work.  He/she may take general or free electives on a pass-fail basis.  However, a maximum of 30 hours of "pass" grades, including proficiency examination credits and credit by examination, will be acceptable toward the degree. Usage of CLEP examination credits is restricted. Check with your academic advisor regarding the acceptance of CLEP credits towards a specific degree. 

Students may take a maximum of 30 hours of course credits in one discipline that may be applied toward BSBA  or BSIBL degree requirements.  All BSBA students must complete 48 hours of credit from 3000- and 4000-level courses in order to qualify for graduation. Students enrolled in junior- and senior-level (3000-4000) business courses are expected to have junior standing and  to have completed the following components of the Tulsa Core Curriculum and Business Core with a grade of C or higher:

Students who obtain less than a 2.0 overall grade point average will be placed on academic probation and may be limited to 12 credit hours of enrollment each semester.   In addition, the college adheres to university policies on dismissal.
