Policies
Note: A copy of the Wilson College policies may be obtained at https://business.uni.edu/students/advising/uni-college-business-policies. Enrollment in upper division (3000/4000-level) business courses requires satisfactory completion of the Wilson College of Business admission requirements and any course prerequisites.
Finance and Real Estate majors may declare a double major, and/or major and minor within the Wilson College of Business, subject to the approval of the other Wilson College of Business departments involved. Finance and Real Estate majors minoring within the Wilson College of Business must select minors designated for business majors. Finance majors cannot minor in Finance, and Real Estate majors cannot minor in Real Estate. However, Finance majors may double major or minor in Real Estate, and Real Estate majors may double major in Finance or minor in Finance. Also, not more than one emphasis area may be declared in Finance.
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). A student must earn a 2.20 cumulative grade point average at UNI; and must earn an overall 2.20 grade point average in business designated courses taken at UNI.
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.
The Finance Department may impose additional admission requirements for students wishing to declare a minor or a second Wilson College of Business major. Eligibility to declare a minor or a second Wilson College of Business major is based on competitive GPA and space availability.
