Advising Notes:
- ITE 120 transfers as COB 204 only from BRCC, LRCC and PVCC and ITE 100 transfers from Nova as COB 204. ITE 140 does not satisfy this requirement.
- Direct admission to the College of Business requires completion of all 9 courses listed above and shown in the B.B.A. Business Management Transfer Guide with at least a B in ACC 211, statistics, BUS 227, BUS 270, ECO 201, ECO 202 and ITE 120; at least a C in ACC 212 and calculus; and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
- Students who do not meet direct admission requirements listed in note #3 must earn a B- average (2.7) in the remaining prerequisites taken at JMU in order to be fully admitted to the College of Business. This could add time to graduation.
Additional Notes:
- The ideal pathway from VCCS to this major is the A.S. in Business Management (consult the B.B.A. Business Management Transfer Guide).
- Differential Tuition for the College of Business majors/minors: Students will be charged an additional $50 per credit for all COB courses (with the exception of ECON 200). Read more about Differential Tuition.
