NOTES

  1. BCOR 2200 must be taken after BCOR 2000, but the other 2000-level BCORs can be taken in any order.
  2. If you do not complete all BCORs during the sophomore year, you can still graduate on track. Taking one or more of these in the fall of your junior year will still allow you to finish on time. We strongly recommend that you complete BCOR 2300 (and BCOR 2500 if Operations Management) during the sophomore year.
  3. MGMT area courses can be taken throughout the Junior & Senior Years. The prerequisite for management courses is BCOR 2300 and 52 hours completed. The MGMT courses may be taken in any order. You make take track courses at the same time you are taking MGMT 3030 and 4000 if you choose to do so.
  4. If you are doing MGMT-OPS, you must do BCOR 2500 before taking the OPIM courses.   You may take OPIM 3030  concurrently with MGMT 3030 and 4000 if you choose.
  5. BCOR 3010 and BCOR 3000 are recommended for junior year. MGMT 4850 is a senior year course generally taken in your last semester before graduation.
  6. You will also complete 15-18 hours of Business electives, which can be spread throughout the junior and senior years.
