Major Requirements
In order to declare and remain a major in good standing in business administration, a student must achieve and maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 in all courses applicable to the major. Once enrolled at Muhlenberg College, excluding AP credits (e.g., for microeconomics or macroeconomics) and off-campus courses that are approved by the department chair or business coordinator, students generally meet the major requirements by enrolling Muhlenberg courses.
A major in business administration must complete 12 courses which consist of the following three components:
Foundations (4 courses):
Foundation courses will ordinarily be completed during the first two years.
Core (4 courses):
Business administration majors are expected to complete all four foundation courses before enrolling in any core courses. Typically, the four core courses are taken during two consecutive semesters and students will not begin to take them before the spring semester of their sophomore year, although exceptions are possible for students who have completed their foundation requirements in their first year and for students who wish to complete their core requirements prior to studying abroad in their junior year.
Concentration (4 courses):
Business Administration majors are expected to have completed all four core courses before enrolling in any concentration courses or department approved study abroad program. Ordinarily, concentration courses will be enrolled during the junior and senior years. Participation in a department approved study abroad program is ordinarily done during the junior year.
