Students who test below College Algebra on the PPL Math Placement exam should be prepared to take multiple prerequisite math courses before starting Foundational Business Management courses. Students will likely be applying for Professional Admission during the first semester of their Junior year.
This is only a sample plan and requirements are subject to change and may vary based on catalog year, placement tests, AP/CLEP credit, transfer work, summer school, etc. Each student and their academic plan is unique. Please meet with your Academic Advisor to create a custom plan for you. Please note that your General Education requirements, including second language, are determined by when you were admitted to the university. Your Academic Advisor can help you navigate the requirements relevant for you.
The official degree requirements are found in the University General Catalog and all University of Arizona students should refer to their Academic Advisement Report through UAccess for their specific requirements for graduation.

Students who test lower than College Algebra, our who do not take the PPL Math Placement Exam and start in MATH 196B, will likely face a delay in graduation or will be required to take courses over the Summer to catch up on their course sequencing. Students should work with the academic advisor to learn how they can adjust their schedule to meet their educational goals.
All students enter as Foundational Business Managements majors, and must go through a competitive and selective Professional Admission process to gain entry to the upper-division professional majors.
* Eller Foundation Courses: You need to take these classes before you apply for admission into the professional program. Professional Admission is required before enrolling in 300- and 400-level core and major courses. Students transferring directly into the upper division who do not have a BCOM 214 equivalent completed will be required to take BCOM 315 before graduation instead. Many Foundational Courses have enforced prerequisites in UAccess.
** Business Emphasis Areas: You must take one ethics course to complete your degree. This class does not need to be completed before applying for Professional Admission.
Students can meet the Second Language requirement by demonstrating second semester proficiency through examination or taking any of a variety of second semester language courses. Each student needs to meet a minimum of 120 total credits. Students are strongly encouraged to take BNAD 100 and BNAD 200 to develop their professional knowledge and competencies required for success in the upper division. Please consult with your Advisement Report and your academic advisor.
