Prerequisite Courses
Required Prerequisites
Current UW Bothell Pre-Major students and Transfer students must have a 3.0 minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) and successfully complete the prerequisites below with a minimum grade of 1.7 in each to be eligible for the B.A. in Business Administration major. Students may apply with one or more of the required prerequisites in-progress.
Note: The required prerequisites do not apply to Direct First-Year Admit (DFA) applicants (those applying directly from high school). DFA students are still required to take these courses, but DFA students take them as prerequisites to courses in the major.
