Entering students are required to successfully satisfy the requirements for the business mathematics
proficiency course, BUAD-100*. Majors are required to earn at least a “C” grade in all courses in their
major program. Graduating seniors are encouraged to take the national standardized Graduate
Management Admission Test (GMAT) during the FALL semester of their senior year. After completing
English Expository Writing (ENGL 101) and Argument and Research (ENGL 102), students must take and
successfully pass the Bowie State University English Proficiency Examination. Transfer students who
completed their English composition requirements at another institution must take the Bowie State
University English Proficiency Examination during their First Semester of enrollment at the University.

Students are expected to familiarize themselves and comply with the College of Business and
departmental graduation standards. Each student’s program is individually reviewed and may be
adjusted to reflect the student’s academic background and career goals.
