The Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and Innovation prepares graduates for three career paths: to start a business sooner rather than later, join a family enterprise and take it to the next level, and become an entrepreneur within a large organizational setting. Students are engaged in entrepreneurial activities starting in their freshmen year by starting a small on-campus business, participating in activities such as elevator pitch competitions, and other hands-on activities. These help build self-confidence and business acumen and prepares graduates for a world of possibility.
Requirements for Graduation:
To be eligible for graduation, students majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and Innovation must complete a minimum of 120 credits, achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher, and complete the General Education Requirements of the College. A minimum grade of 2.0 is required for First Year Seminar and all courses taken as part of Foundations. Courses used to complete General Education Requirements may not be taken on a pass/fail basis.
The General Education Requirements of the college require students to successfully complete First Year Seminar, Foundations (FCO 103 will be a required co-requisite with FCO 105 for students who have a high school GPA below 3.20), Disciplinary Perspectives, and a Constellation. Students who enter the college with 30 credit hours completed will not take a First Year Seminar course and therefore must take an additional 3 credits for graduation. Transfer students that are awarded 60 or more credits upon acceptance to York College will not be required to complete a Constellation.
Students majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and Innovation must maintain a 2.0 average in the General Business Component courses and a 2.0 average in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation component courses. In addition, students must attain a 2.0 or higher in each course that serves as a prerequisite to a subsequent business course, (refer to the course description for specific prerequisites). Failure to attain a 2.0 in prerequisite courses may lengthen the time to graduation. Students must also earn a grade of 2.0 or higher in their senior capstone course, ENT 495 . This major requires a second major or a minor be completed with a cumulative 2.0 average.
Students who are waived from FYS100, MAT102, or other courses must complete an equivalent number of credits. Students who are able to count courses for multiple degree requirements must also complete additional credits to achieve the required total of 120 in order to graduate.
