Students pursuing this suggested pathway will complete their B.S. degree with 131 semester credits, instead of the typical 128 semester credits. With careful planning, all B.S. degree requirements and satisfaction of M.B.A. prerequisite courses can be completed without exceeding block-tuition. *ECON-2110 satisfies the social science elective for the B.S. general eduation requirements and satisfies the M.B.A. microeconomics prerequisite. **GMTH-2110 (or another approved statistics course) satisfies the M.B.A. business statistics prerequisite. ***Contact the M.B.A. graduate advisor during your B.S. studies to identify the M.B.A. core or elective course that will satisfy the M.B.A. generalist/concentration pathway you plan to complete. 2019–20 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page 209 Department of Science and Mathematics Biology — Bachelor of Science
