Students majoring in the College of Business, Information, and Social Sciences must maintain at least an overall 2.00 grade point average (4.00 scale) for all coursework taken at the University, along with at least a 2.00 for courses taken in their major and minor fields of study (note:  some majors or minors may be higher). Students must complete 120 credits to graduate. Individual departments may have additional requirements. Please see department websites for more details.

In addition, students pursuing a degree in business administration must satisfy a series of requirements called the “common core.”  This series includes courses in accounting, statistics, economics, finance, law, management and marketing.  The common core is designed to make sure all business majors have a broad background in general business.  A 2.00 grade point average is required for all courses taken to satisfy the common core.  Internship credits may be earned in each degree program.

As with all Slippery Rock undergraduates, individuals majoring in the College of Business, Information, and Social Sciences are required to complete a number of courses in the Liberal Studies Program. These course requirements lie outside the student's major field of study, and are designed to encourage the development of intellectual insights and skills that will enable the enjoyment of a lifetime of learning.
