Admission as a Freshman

Entering UAH freshmen interested in business administration must meet the general entrance requirements of the University. Students who intend to pursue the BSBA degree should read the Admissions Information section of the Catalog.

Students who have had inadequate high school preparation or who are placed in certain lower-level classes because of the results of placement tests may have to take one or more of the following courses:

These courses carry no academic credit but will appear on transcripts of students who successfully complete the courses.

Admission as a Transfer Student

Students planning to transfer into the College of Business Administration from a two- or four-year institution to obtain the BSBA are advised to follow the transfer program outlined below:

General Educational Requirements

The specific credit for work done at other institutions which will apply toward the BSBA degree is determined by the College's Office of Academic Assistance. Allowance of transfer credit by the Office of Admissions and Records does not necessarily mean that such credit will be applied toward a BSBA degree. All inquiries concerning the applicability of credit should be made to the College's Office of Academic Assistance (256-824-6024).

Credit for business administration courses taken in schools with programs accredited by the AACSB-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business is transferable to UAH. Credit for courses taken in programs without AACSB accreditation may be accepted with approved regional accreditation.

Course work taken at a junior college after a student has earned more than 64 semester hours of credit may not be accepted for transfer. Courses taken at the lower division at another institution which are upper-division courses at UAH will be accepted for transfer only after successful validation.

Residence Requirement

At least 12 of the last 18 semester hours of a student's program and a minimum of 32 semester hours of the total degree program must be completed at UAH. For BSBA students, the hours taken in residency must include at least 50 percent of the BSBA program (core curriculum and major option) including a minimum of 12 hours in the major option and 3 hours in MGT 499, Competitive Strategy. Students who are required to take additional courses within the College of Business Administration in order to meet the residence requirement may be required to complete more than 128 semester hours in order to graduate.

Probation and Dismissal

Students are placed on probation at the end of any semester in which they do not have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. For more details on the process, see the Academic Probation and Suspension section of the Catalog.

When dismissed, the student must petition the College of Business Administration for readmission. Application should be made in the Student Records Office, University Center.
