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 2500 during the sophomore year (if this is one of your requirements).
  3. OPIM courses can be taken throughout  the Junior & Senior Year in any order. The prerequisites for these courses are BCOR 2500 and 52 hours completed.  Note OPIM 4080 (Project Management) is open only to non-OPIM majors-the prerequisites for these courses are BCOR 2500 and 52 hours completed.  All OPIM majors are required to take OPIM 4850 (Sr Seminar in Opreations and Information Management) Instead of OPIM 4080.
  4. BCOR 3010 and BCOR 3000 are recommended for junior year. 
  5. You will also complete 15-18 hours of Business electives, which can be spread throughout the junior and senior years.
