Program Standards
The following standards apply to all students in the Milgard School of Business. These standards may be in addition to other academic standards at the University of Washington Tacoma.
- Students must satisfactorily complete all upper-division business courses at UW Tacoma by achieving a minimum 1.7 grade. If a grade below 1.7 is received, the student must repeat the course. Course credit will be awarded only once, and both grades will be computed into the grade-point average.
- Courses in the Business core and option may not be taken by correspondence (distance learning).
- Courses in the Business core and option may not be taken S/NS (satisfactory/not satisfactory).
- Upper-division business courses completed at other accredited four-year institutions may not be more than seven years old in order to substitute for a course in the Business major. If a course is more than seven years old, the student will be required to repeat the course at UW Tacoma. Credit will not be awarded twice for an equivalent course. There is no time limit on prerequisite coursework.
- Upper-division business courses used for transfer credit are held to the 1.7 grade standard required for all courses by the Milgard School of Business.
- All full-time students must complete the required six core courses during their first year at UW Tacoma. Part-time students are required to complete the Business core before beginning more advanced option courses. To develop a degree plan, students are required to meet with a Business School adviser during their first quarter at UW Tacoma.
- Students are limited to one option and two core transfer courses. The Business School will accept no equivalents to TBUS 300 and TBUS 400.
Removal from Program
An undergraduate Business major who is dismissed from the University for low scholarship is removed from the Business Administration major. A letter of dismissal is sent to the student.
Students removed from the Milgard School of Business who wish to re-enter the program must re-apply for admission. The Milgard School of Business Admissions Committee evaluates the student's file, statement requesting re-admission and any extenuating circumstances, and then recommends action.
