Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Finance

Effective for students admitted Fall 2009 and thereafter admission to the Mike Ilitch School of Business Undergraduate Program is based upon two criteria: Preprofessional Program Standing and Professional Program Standing, as defined below. Preprofessional Program Standing is the classification for entering high school students or transfer students admitted directly to the Mike Ilitch School of Business through the WSU Undergraduate Admissions Office. Typically, students are admitted at the freshmen or sophomore levels and pursue Business Foundation requirements, entry level Business Core classes and General Education Requirements. The purpose of the preprofessional coursework is to provide students with business instruction that prepares them for advanced level Business Core courses and business major courses. Professional Program Standing is the classification for students entering or continuing in the Mike Ilitch School of Business with the completion of fifty-four semester credits at Wayne State University or fifty-four transferable semester credits, and requires a minimum 2.50 grade point average as described in the Mike Ilitch School of Business requirements (consult Frederick Hessler Student Success Center, Room 101 Mike Ilitch School of Business). Entry into Professional Program Standing grants students approval to enroll in advanced Business Core courses and degree-applicable major courses. Students not meeting the grade point average requirement will NOT be allowed to enroll in either of these course groups until the required grade point average is achieved.

To be eligible for the degree, students must have earned a minimum 2.0 grade point average in the major requirements and a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 in all undergraduate course work completed at Wayne State University. To be considered for admission, applicants must submit an official high school transcript demonstrating college preparatory coursework and evidence of readiness to undertake a college degree program. However, official high school transcripts are required, and applicants may be asked to provide additional materials, such as a personal essay, to support a holistic review.
