TEST Business Administration B.B.A.
General University Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees
For a UAF bachelor’s degree, a student must earn at least 120 semester credits, including transfer credits, at the 100 level or above. Of these, 39 credits must be upper-division (300 level or above), of which 24 must be UA residence credits and 15 must be UAF credits.
At least 30 semester credits applicable to any bachelor’s degree must be earned at UAF. Transfer students need to earn at least 24 upper-division semester credits at UA, of which 15 must be UAF credits. Transfer students must earn at least 12 semester credits in the major and at least 3 semester credits in the minor. A student must earn a C- grade or higher in all courses required for the degree unless otherwise specified by the major (major, minor, general education requirements and degree requirements).
Unless otherwise specified, a course may be used more than once toward fulfilling degree, certificate, major and minor requirements. Credit hours for these courses count only once toward the total credits required for the degree or certificate.
Since WRTG F211X, WRTG F212X, WRTG F213X and WRTG F214X are writing courses, any will satisfy the second half of the requirement in written communication for the bachelor’s degree. A student can not enroll in WRTG F211X, WRTG F212X, WRTG F213X or WRTG F214X without first fulfilling the WRTG F111X requirement. (See UAF Advanced Placement Credit — English.)
