Total Credits Required - 126 comprising:

  1. General Curriculum ( 63 Credits)
  2. Common Body of Knowledge ( 33 Credits)
  3. Major ( 30 Credits)
    • Minimum of 36 credits must be earned in residence at IUA and, thus, transfer students from other institutions gain advanced status.
    • Maximum of 72 lower division credits (100- and 200-level) may be applied to an IUA bachelor's degree program.
    • Achieve a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for all examinations and coursework at IUA of 2.00 (C) or higher in order to graduate.

 

The Business Plan

Each BBA student must ultimately develop a complete business plan (BUS 499 is a 9-credit course). Where permitted, a student may do a thesis instead.


The purpose of the business plan is to determine the feasibility of establishing a company or product in either the United States/United Kingdom or the student's home country. The business plan outlines a strategy in which contracts are negotiated with American / British businesses, international companies, financial institutions and other organizations to give students a better understanding of business practices. The business plan, like a thesis, is student initiated. Unlike the other academic courses at IUA, the bulk of the responsibility for completion of the project lies with the student. The business plan advisor is available as both a sounding board and a resource person, but the care required to develop, implement and complete the business plan is the student's responsibility.
