About the SOBA Professional Program

The SOBA Professional Program is comprised of the upper level business courses (300 level or higher) required to receive the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree. Business Administration students must first satisfy the admission requirements to be admitted into the SOBA Professional Program before they will be allowed to enroll in upper level business courses.  Students who fulfill the admission requirements of the university may enroll in any business course at the 100 or 200 level, provided they meet individual course prerequisites.
