BAPP (Business Administration Pre-Professions) Program
Overview
All students entering the CBA begin in the BAPP program. BAPP prepares students for a business major and fulfills university requirements and K-State 8.
A student's degree is listed as BAPP until he/she completes at least 45 credit hours and has earned a 2.5 GPA (3.0 for Accounting) on 12 or more credit hours at K-State. At that point, the student may choose a degree plan in Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, or Marketing.
Requirements
The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree is comprised by 126 credit hours. Students complete 54 credit hours in BAPP requirements, and 30 credit hours in Business Core requirements. The remaining 42 credit hours are fulfilled within the student's chosen major.
Students do not need to complete all BAPP and Business Core requirements before beginning their major requirements. However, upper level classes may require the completion of prerequisites before enrollment. Prerequisites are listed in the K-State Undergraduate Catalog.
