Students pursuing this suggested pathway will complete their B.S. degree with 139 semester credits, instead of the typical 128 semester credits. Students will exceed block-tuition for two semesters. *GMTH-2110 is specified for the program and also satisfies the M.B.A. business statistics prerequisite. **ECON-2110 satisfies the social science elective for the B.S. general eduation requirements and satisfies the M.B.A. microeconomics prerequisite. ***MGMT-6710 substitutes for MGMT-3500 in the B.S. Geology program with a Geoscience concentration. A complete description of the general education requirements is found on page 24.
