Admission Requirements and PoliciesMajor Requirements
- University Studies Requirements (General Education and Depth Requirements): A group of “general” courses required for each student to fulfill in order to graduate. These courses teach a broad range of skills, knowledge, and values that prepare students for success in their majors and in their personal and professional lives after graduation. Most students complete their University Studies requirements by their junior year.
- Huntsman Core Requirements (Business Acumen): A group of entry level courses required for every Huntsman major. These courses ensure that each Huntsman student begins their business career with an understanding of fundamental business principles.
- Major Requirements: A group of upper-level courses required to fulfill a respective major. These courses are determined by a student's choice of major selection and teach skills specific to the area of study for students to specialize in their chosen field.
Exploratory 2-Semester Plan
The sample plan below is designed to help students plan a course of study to start their degree program while they explore major options. The sample plan is subject to change and will vary based on catalog year and coursework already completed by each student (placement tests, AP/CLEP credit, transfer work, summer school, etc.).
The plan is an example of how students may plan their own course of study by taking 15 credits per semester and interweaving their General Education requirements with their business acumen requirements.
