Business Administration and Economics Degree Programs
The George Dean Johnson, Jr. College of Business and Economics offers programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. In addition to the Spartanburg campus, courses are also offered at the University Center Greenville. Students are invited to visit the Johnson College of Business and Economics on the USC Upstate campus to explore career opportunities.
General Education Courses
All College of Business and Economics students are required to take the specified general education courses. All students then take a common business and economics core sequence, spanning the full range of business functions. Finally, students select a concentration.
Students should begin with the recommended curriculum as early as possible. This sequence includes a combination of business, economics and general education courses suggested for each semester in which the student is enrolled. It is imperative that students begin their mathematics/statistics sequence in the first semester of their freshman year and continue this sequence each semester to make adequate progress in any of the business concentrations. Students in business and economics are advised by the faculty from the Johnson College of Business and Economics.
300-level Courses
Junior standing (60 semester hours earned) is a pre-requisite for all 300-level or above business administration and economics courses. Additional prerequisites are included in individual course descriptions.
Non-Business Majors
Students not pursuing a business degree may earn a maximum of 29 semester hours in College of Business and Economics courses, excluding SECO 221, 222, 291, and 292, providing they meet the course prerequisites and have attained junior standing (60 semester hours earned) before enrolling in 300-level and above courses.
