For a full list of general educationrequirements, see the university catalog.

Applying for Major Status:
You must submit an application for major status one term prior to enrolling in upper division business courses. (Typically, students submit an application in the term they are completing the last of their pre-business requirements.) APPLICATIONS ARE DUE ON THE SECOND FRIDAY OF THE TERM. You will not be allowed to take upper-division core or major courses until you have been admitted to the Lundquist College of Business. All students will select either Accounting or Business Administration as their major. Applications are available online at https://lcb.uoregon.edu/forms/major/application.html. For more details please come to 145 Lillis.



Required Coursework Outside the College of Business:


All business and accounting majors must complete 90 credits of non-business coursework to include the following two requirements prior to graduation. Please note: These are NOT requirements for admission to the major. Many students do, however, begin working on these requirements before admission to the major. Careful planning of general education requirements may enable you to meet these requirements simultaneously.

Pre-business students are required to submit a written plan, for departmental approval, to the Undergraduate Advising Office, 145 Lillis, outlining how you will meet the following two requirements.

Proposals may be submitted at any time, however, you are strongly advised  to turn one in for approval prior to taking these courses and your plan must be on file in 145 Lillis before graduating.

Non-Business Breadth Requirement:
24 credits from an inter-related set of courses, outside of business, that relate to your career interests. Completion of a minor will automatically fulfill this requirement, as will two years of college-level foreign language.

Global Context for Business Decisions:
Three courses that focus on the culture of a country other than your native country. All three courses should focus on the same country or region. Courses must be at least three credits each. Foreign language courses must be at least 200-level or higher.
