Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I know which SU catalog to use?
Students entering SU as freshmen or as
a transfer student
from any schools other than Maryland schools must
use the SU catalog of the year they enter.
Transfer students from Maryland colleges may use a SU
catalog from when they were matriculated students at
the college so long as it is no more than seven
years back from their anticipated date of
graduation. All students may choose to move to
a newer catalog.
If I’m majoring in ACCT, BUAD, ECON, FINA,
INFO, MGMT or MKTG, may I also minor in one of the
other areas of the Perdue School?
Students majoring in ACCT, BUAD, FINA, INFO, MGMT or
MKTG may minor in all areas except
BUAD and MKTG. Students majoring in
ECON may minor in ACCT, BUAD,
FINA, INFO, or MKTG.
Am I in the Perdue School of Business as soon
as I am admitted to SU? If not, how and when
do I apply?
Students who indicate on their admission forms that
the want to major in ACCT, BUAD, FINA, INFO, MGMT or
MKTG are classified as Pre-business
(pre-professional) students in the Perdue School
until such time as they complete a group of required
lower division business core courses—typically by
the end of the sophomore year. At that point
the students must apply for admission to one of the upper
division (professional) areas. This is done
through the office of the Advising Services
Coordinator for the Perdue School. Economics
majors are admitted directly into the major and have
no additional admission requirements.
What are the professional
program admission requirements?
Students must have 56
credits and have a 2.6GPA in the lower division
(pre-professional) business core
with no "D" grades in this area to be
admitted.
They may repeat courses one time
to achieve the 2.6GPA for
admission. Further, no student may take
junior/senior-level ACCT, BUAD, FINA, INFO, MGMT or
MKTG courses until he/she has been admitted.
May I repeat a course elsewhere to improve an
SU grade?
No. Students needing to repeat an SU class
must repeat that course at SU. The new grade
is the only grade counted in the GPA.
May I take courses elsewhere and have them
count toward my major/degree at SU?
Students must take junior/senior-level courses
and 30 of their last 37 credits at SU. They
may take free electives, General Education courses,
and lower division business courses elsewhere with
pre-approval from the Advising Services Coordinator.
Under exceptional circumstances, students may take
up to 6 credits of junior/senior-level courses from
an AACSB-member school with pre-approval from the
Perdue School.
Why are some transfer courses only counted as
electives instead of being credited toward my major?
All courses transferred to SU must be substantially
the same as courses offered at SU to be counted
toward specific requirements. The Admissions
Office makes this determination with the help of the
academic department(s). Courses taken at the
freshman/sophomore-level cannot be accepted as
equivalent to junior/senior-level courses.
However, the Admissions
Office will apply these as elective credits,
so they still count toward the 120 credits required
for graduation.
When must I apply
for graduation and have a degree audit done?
Students must apply for graduation the semester
prior to the semester in which they intend to
graduate. At that time, a graduation audit is
done by the Faculty Advisor
and reviewed with the student.
If I earn an Accounting degree, will I have
all the courses needed to sit for the CPA exam?
Yes,
but 150 credits are required in Maryland.
Please contact the Department of Accounting and
Legal Studies for further information.
How do I get admitted to an MBA program?
Students wishing to study at an
institution other than SU must
contact the prospective school directly.
Students wishing to go to SU should contact the
Director of the Perdue School MBA program for a
packet of information, application, etc.
