| Transfer Policy for Transfer
of Community College Credits |
| |
| A large number of students transfer
each year into the programs offered by the College of Business.
For this reason, each year the various departments of the College
of Business prepare course transfer equivalency statements which
are distributed to appropriate community college located in
the FHSU service area. Students entering community colleges
as freshmen and subsequently transferring into a College of
Business academic program will be allowed to transfer the following
courses toward a major: |

| Business courses other than those
noted above will be acceptable for elective credit only. |
| |
| The above specific general education
or cognate courses should also be taken during the freshman
and/or sophomore years in preparation for a major within the
College of Business. The general education component will comprise
50 percent of a four-year program. Up to nine hours of economics
and six hours of math/statistics may be included as a part of
general education. |
| |
| In conjuction with this policy, and
consistent with AACSB guidelines, the College of Business will
follow a validation procedure for certain upper-division courses.
These courses are: BCOM 301 Organizational Communications; MKT
301 Marketing Principles; MGT 301 Management Principles; ACCT
305 Intermediate Accounting I; and ECFI 305 Managerial Finance.
|
| |
| Students will be allowed to test
out (obtain a waiver) of any of these courses for which they
demonstrate adequate training. Please note that in some cases
neither the title nor the topical material is consistent with
typical courses taught at the community college level (pre-requisites
probably also differ). Again, any business course taken at a
community college will be transferable at least for elective
credit. |
| |
| Students planning to transfer into
programs offered by the College of Business should check with
the departmental chairs for transfer policy information. |
| |
| Transfer Policy for Students Seeking
Degrees in the College of Business |
| |
| It is a College of Business requirement
that at least 50 percent of the business credit hours required
for the business degree be earned at FHSU. Transcript analysts
from the Registrar's Office will monitor this standard to ensure
compliance. |
