This program is designed for those students desiring less than a four-year university education but who, upon completion of two years of university study, will possess minimum employable skills in the area of business.
REQUIREMENTS: Admission as a regular student to Indiana University South Bend and completion of all orientation test requirements.
1. Completion of a minimum of 60 credits hours with at least 30 credit hours completed at Indiana University, and with at least 15 credit hours at one IU campus (correspondence courses do not satisfy residence requirements).
2. A minimum cumulative grade point average of C (2.0).
