Marketing Freshman Pathway

Requirement View

These pathways serve as tools, not prescribed programs of study. Before enrolling, you can use them to get a feel for what you can do in this program. After enrolling, you and your advisors can use them as a starting point for building your personalized outcomes-based ILP.

This pathway, intended as a reference, shows a productive route to graduation in four years.  Your actual pathway may not look exactly like the model due to several factors:

  • Any required remedial courses, such as MATH 098 and WRT 095
  • Actual availability of courses during a given semester
  • Personal choices you make in your Individual Learning Plan, in consultation with your advisors
  • Business students are expected to enter the university ready for level 2 language
  • Business students are only required to finish the 3rd level of language, rather than 4th level that is required of most other majors

Summer Freshman

Because Business requires a lot of classes, we recommend that students take some of their lower division classes during the summer between their Freshman and Sophomore year. The best classes to take in the summer, so that you can lower your semester load, would be economics - either macro or micro.  You also can take financial accounting, business law or continue your language.
