- All students majoring in business must complete 50% of their major coursework in the Wilson College of Business at UNI. Major coursework would include any undergraduate, credit-bearing, graded course taught in the Wilson College of Business at UNI. Business courses taken at UNI as credit/no credit do not qualify. A minimum of 10 credits must be upper division (3000-4000 level courses). Economics: General Economics, Quantitative Techniques, and Applied Economics are excluded from these guidelines.
The Wilson College of Business limits the number of courses that can be counted towards major specific requirements across the College. The College will allow students to double count one major specific course between majors, with the following exceptions. These exceptions include major combinations which allow two double-counted courses:
- MIS/Business Analytics
- Real Estate/Finance: Financial Management or Investments
- Business Analytics/Economics: Business Economics
This guideline is not applicable to the business core. There are no limitations to the number of courses that can be double-counted towards minors and/or certificates within the College.
Enrollment in upper division (3000/4000-level) business courses requires satisfactory completion of the Wilson College of Business admission requirements and any course prerequisites.
