Prior to completion of the admission requirements, students may sign an intent to major in one of these areas and be classified as a prospective (pre)major. Pre-Management, Pre-MIS, or Pre-Business Teaching majors may enroll in lower division (below 100) business courses only. Enrollment in upper division (100-level) business courses requires satisfactory completion of the CBA admission requirements and any course prerequisites.
Students majoring in Management are not permitted to declare a double major within the College of Business Administration (the Economics/General and Economics/Quantitative Techniques majors are excepted). Management majors may declare a minor within the CBA, but the CBA minor selected must be one of those designated for business majors. Also, not more than one emphasis area may be declared in Management.
Students majoring in Business Teaching and MIS may declare a double major and/or major and minor within the College of Business Administration, subject to the regulations imposed by those CBA departments affected. Business Teaching and MIS majors minoring within the CBA must select minors designated for business majors.
To graduate with a major in Management, Management Information Systems, or Business Teaching from the College of Business Administration, a student must earn at least 50% of the business credit hours required for the major at UNI. Students must take at least 50% of the course work required for the degree outside the College of Business Administration. Up to nine hours of economics (excluding 920:020), and six hours of statistics may be counted outside the College of Business Administration. A student must earn a 2.20 cumulative grade point average at UNI; and earn an overall 2.20 grade point average in 120:xxx, 130:xxx, 150:xxx, 160:xxx, and 920:xxx courses taken at UNI. In addition, Business Teaching majors must complete a total cumulative and cumulative UNI GPA of 2.50 or better. Students given permission to graduate out-of-residence must earn a 2.20 or better in all courses approved and accepted for out-of-residence credit.
The Management Department may impose additional admission requirements for students wishing to declare a minor or a second CBA major. Eligibility to declare a minor or a second CBA major is based on competitive GPA and space availability. Students may obtain a copy of these requirements from the Student Advising and Career Services Office (CBB 321B) in the College of Business Administration.
