Notes on BUS 202

  • Students considering the Business Administration major are encouraged to enroll in BUS 202. Students considering the Economics major are encouraged to enroll in ECON 202. 
  • For students majoring in both business administration and cognitive and behavioral sciences, CBSC 250 may be substituted for BUS 202. 
  • Due to content overlap, students may take only one of the following courses for degree credit: BUS 202, ECON 202, INTR 202, MATH 118. Students who have already taken CBSC 250 should not take any of these other four courses.
