Double Major

BSBA students may also complete a double major, combin­ing two of the majors previously listed for the BSBA.

Upper Division Requirement

  • Of the total credits required for the degree, at least 75 must be upper-division courses at the 2000- or 3000-level.

General Policies

  • At least 50 percent of required business courses for the degree must be completed at the University of Denver.
  • Students must earn a minimum GPA of 2.0 (“C”) overall, in all business courses and in the major.
  • Students must earn a minimum grade of "C-" in their additional non-­business and business core requirements.

Residence Requirement

  • The last 45 credits earned prior to granting a degree must be completed at the University of Denver apart from approved study abroad participation.

Student International Experience Requirement

Business students must be prepared to interact with persons from other cultures and manage in circumstances where business practices and social conventions are different from the student’s native country. To meet this requirement, all students entering DU fall 2006 or thereafter must fulfill an international experience before they can graduate as a business major.

Hospitality Management majors and International Business majors must study abroad.

International students meet this requirement by virtue of studying at DU.

All other business majors may fulfill the International Experience requirement through one of these options:

  • Participate in a DU-approved study abroad program. Students are strongly encouraged to study abroad through the Cherrington Global Scholars program.
  • Earn a C- or better in an international travel course led by DU faculty during an interterm or summer.
  • If travel is not possible, a student can satisfy this requirement by earning a grade of C- in any of the following courses:
