College Completion Degree Programs

Policies

A minimum of 18 credits in Business numbered 300 or above must be earned at Edgewood College. This rule is designed to assure that at least one-half of the credits applied to an Edgewood College Business Major be obtained through actual Edgewood College UABUS coursework. Once admitted to the College Completion program, all Business courses must be completed at Edgewood College.

For the purpose of this residency, credit by examination and credit through prior learning portfolios are counted as Edgewood College credits as long as no less than 32 credits in a student’s entire program are taken directly through Edgewood College courses. This applies to residency and not to the 18 credit rule. Exceptions to this rule will occur only in extreme circumstances and require prior written permission of both the student’s academic advisor and the Dean of the School of Business.

Students must complete UAENG 151 as well as 40 credits of coursework before enrolling for business courses numbered 300 or above.

The Fundamentals of Accounting Certificate requires a minimum of 29 credits, 19 of which must be taken at Edgewood College to meet the residency requirement. Up to eight credits (2 courses maximum) of relevant undergraduate coursework may be waived, provided the courses taken at Edgewood College or other colleges and universities are equivalent to those specified in the program.

Certificate Courses Applied to the BBA

Courses taken as part of the Certificate Program may later be applied to satisfy BBA course requirement provided that the student has been applied and has been accepted to the BBA program and a grade of ‘C’ or better has been received in the Accounting Certificate program course. The course must also be considered relevant to the BBA at the time the student is admitted to the BBA Program.
