Program Highlights
Requirements
To earn a B.S. in Business Administration, at least 70% of the total credits earned in business core classes, as well as the majority of the specialized courses in the major (i.e., 3 out of 5 in any of the business major classes) must be taken at the University of Maine. Business and economics coursework must be completed with a 2.0 (“C”) cumulative average. A C- or better is required in all business core classes and those classes may be repeated only once.
Students wishing to transfer from other institutions or from other programs within UM must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and be in good academic standing. In addition to University-wide policies for transfer of credit, MBS, as an institution accredited by AACSB International, evaluates transfer credit according to AACSB standards.
