John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics Requirements
John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics Curriculum
The program of study within the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics is designed to assist the students from admission to career placement. Non business Economics degree programs within the Goddard School follow the same general pattern which is composed of four required elements: (1) Liberal Support Curriculum, (2) Economics Foundations Curriculum, (3) Admission and Major Declaration, and (4) Major Discipline.
1. Liberal Support Curriculum (7-8 credit hours)
The Liberal Support Curriculum consists of courses outside the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics which provide critical skills and information useful to all business students. Students should complete the Liberal Support Curriculum as soon as possible because the knowledge attained in these courses will be used throughout the business curriculum.
NOTE: Students looking at Quantitative Economics should take MATH 1050 NOT MATH 1090 as MATH 1090 does not meet the prerequisite requirement for MATH 1210 Calculus I.
2. Economics Foundations Curriculum (9 credit hours)
Each major discipline within the Goddard School designates different course work. Consult the Degrees/Programs listing for the major course work required. Refer to department degree maps for assistance in course sequencing.
The Economics Foundations Curriculum provides the base for all economic degree programs and should be completed early in the student’s academic studies. To satisfy the Economics Foundations requirement, courses must be completed with a grade of “C-” or higher. However, admittance to the Goddard School requires a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher for the three Economics Foundation courses.
3. Admissions Process (0 credit hours)
Students intending to pursue a Bachelor of Science or Associate of Science from the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics must take the appropriate admissions course listed below. Students wishing to minor in Accounting or Economics must also take the appropriate admissions course. Other minors and certificates do not require any admissions course. Students should register for this course concurrent with (same semester as) or after their last required Business Foundations Course.
