After being accepted to the BUAD major, complete the upper-level Business Courses with a grade of
"C" or higher (2.00). You will also complete the courses required for your chosen concentration or
track (see below). Each concentration requires 24 units and each track requires 21 units.
By Maryland law, once you have earned 45 credits of course work, all
students must have an academic plan that lists the courses needed to
complete your degree for each semester leading to graduation.
Transfer students must have a plan in the first semester at Towson.
You will work with your academic advisor to create your academic plan.
We have created a website with all the information needed to assist you
with the creation of your academic plan at http://towson.edu/cbe/
