Administrative Services
Program RequirementsAdministrative Services is a program that gives graduates of two-year institutions who did not complete a business-related Associate's degree program of study the opportunity to continue their education in a structured business-oriented program that leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. The purpose of this program is to give students the basic skills necessary for effective business practices. These skills include competency in solving quantitative problems, an ability to communicate effectively and an understanding of human behavior.
A special program of study is one with a more formal curriculum than an individualized program. It is located in University College either because it is composed of course work from several colleges or is addressed to a special type of student. Printed information describing each program in further detail may be obtained from University College.
This interdisciplinary program is composed of required and elective courses from several colleges and a variety of departments. Students also must complete the University's Core Curriculum and University College general education requirements. The minimum credit requirement for the Bachelor of Science in Administrative Services degree is 124 semester hours. A minimum of 55 semester hours will be earned at the baccalaureate level, of which 40 hours must be of upper division course work.
The prerequisite core in this program consists of courses in communications, economics, mathematics, statistics and accounting, all areas of knowledge important for business managers. The core courses and the administrative electives allow students to be introduced to one of five broad areas of interest: (1) accounting, (2) management, (3) finance, (4) marketing, and (5) information systems and operations management. Students who plan to enter the Master of Business Administration program are urged to follow a general business sequence. Material describing the requirements and options in the Administrative Services program may be obtained from the University College office.
