| NOTE: Electives are chosen through academic advising
from courses that are substantially different from those used to
meet any other graduation requirement. They may be selected from
the following courses, from another course area in the Business Administration
program, or from courses offered as part of another DeVry degree
program, provided prerequisites are satisfied. Where noted, some
elective hours must be used to satisfy prerequisites for courses
in the major/concentration. Qualifying prior college coursework not
meeting other program requirements may be applied toward the elective
hours. ACCT-424; BIS-325; BIS-429; BSOP-206 (required for operations management majors); BSOP-431; BUSN-380; BUSN-412; BUSN-420; BUSN-427; ECOM-210; MGMT-420; MGMT-439; TC-160; TC-220; TC-320; TC-420; TC-430; TC-450 |

* Some courses may appear in more than one course area, to permit flexibility in pursuing areas of interest. However, each course may be applied to graduation requirements in one course area only.
† A minimum of three credit hours is selected from courses offered in any major/concentration, for which course prerequisites have been satisfied.
Business Administration - General Business Option - Plan I
When appropriate, and in lieu of a major/concentration, students may select the senior project course, BUSN-460, and a sequence of business or technical courses that is closely aligned with their personal career goals. Selected coursework must total at least 27 semester-credit hours, and the student's total program must include at least 42 semester-credit hours (45 semester-credit hours in Kansas) of upper-division coursework (DeVry courses numbered 300-499). All prerequisites for the coursework selected must be satisfied. Business sequences are typically built from the array of courses listed in the business administration majors/concentrations, or are shown in the elective choices. Technical sequences focus on a particular career area and need not be business-related. Approved sequences comprise a coherent series of interrelated courses and are determined by students in consultation with the business program administrator. They may include selected DeVry coursework, qualifying coursework from a prior college experience or a combination of both. The plan provides a solid base in business fundamentals and general education, as well as in-depth skills in an area of interest. This combination of knowledge and skills qualifies graduates to contribute to organizational success in a wide variety of areas.
Business Administration - General Business Option - Plan II
This option provides a direct path for qualified graduates of approved Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Business Administration programs in India to earn a recognized bachelor's degree. The program also paves the way for graduate study if desired. In lieu of choosing a focused major/concentration leading to specialized knowledge and skills, students choose to become business generalists, familiar with many aspects of international business and qualified for entry-level opportunities in the principal business functions of finance, operations and marketing. Eligible students receive general credit of 83 semester-credit hours for their qualifying degree and must meet the additional course requirements for graduation listed below.
