Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Augustana Faculty - Programs

Overview


The four year Bachelor of Management (BMgt) degree consists of 120 units in arts, science and professional (see Classification of Courses ) including up to 72 units in the Management program and the credits required for the Foundation and Knowledge components of the Augustana Core. Because of the possibility of overlap between the credits required for portions of the Augustana Core and those required for the Management program, a student may also include options or an optional minor as follows:

Management Program:


See below for details on the Management Foundation, Economics Foundation, Stream, and Supporting course requirements of the Management program.

The Augustana Core: Foundation 18 units


The Augustana Foundation requirement is met by the completion of the following courses:

The Augustana Core: Knowledge 21 units


The 21 units in Breadth of Knowledge requirements consist of three different categories:

  • 9 units in Fine Arts and Humanities (students must complete at least 3 units in each area)
  • 6 units in Science
  • 6 units in Social sciences

For the actual classification of Augustana courses within these categories, see Classification of Courses .

Note: The same credit may not be counted twice in courses that relate to more than one category within the Foundation and Knowledge components of the Augustana Core; that is, a total of 39 different credits must be earned to fulfill these requirements.

Optional minor:


A minimum of 18 units in one discipline or approved interdisciplinary area, including at least 12 units at the senior level. A student should be aware that it may not be possible to complete certain combinations of majors and minors without extending the time required to earn the degree.

Options:


0-21 units (or more, depending on the amount of overlap between the core and the requirements for the major, and/or minor) of the student’s choice. 

Residence Requirements


Students registered in a Bachelor of Management program must complete at least 60 units offered by the Augustana Faculty, at least 54 units of which must be at the senior level. However,

  1. Language or other study abroad may, with special permission of the Associate Dean, Academic, count toward the residency requirement.
  2. An exception to this requirement may be granted to students already holding a BA or BSc who can transfer sufficient credits from their first degree to be able to complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Management degree in fewer than 60 units. Normally in such cases at least the final 45 units must be completed at Augustana.
    Note: Students transferring into this degree program within the framework of a Faculty-approved transfer agreement must complete 60 units of the final credits of their degree program with credits offered by the Augustana Faculty.
