*The four MBAL course offerings can be evaluated to match the major‘s electives. Students not desiring the MBAL can take electives in their majors.
Three-year total = 120 (permits the awarding of the B.S. degree)
Transfer Student Requirements
Transfer students would need to demonstrate the completion of an equivalent of the core courses, as a minimum, to enter the MBAL. Another option would be completion of an assigned “boot camp” to bring about the core courses equivalent.
