Advising Tips For Business Majors
This page is intended to help you to plan for your degree at Gordon College. The page contains tips and facts that can help to guide your curricular choices as you register during your stay here.
This page is NOT intended to be a substitute for talking to your advisor if you need advice or if you are confused about courses to take.
| Area | Requirements | Tips | ||||||
| A |
Required Courses: 6 hours MATH 1113‡ (4-0-4) Hours Applied to Area A ................................................... 9 HOURS* † MATH 1001 is the recommended course for non-science
majors. MATH 1111 or |
Take ENGL 1101 and 1102 in back to back semesters if
possible. It is highly recommended that you do these courses in
the first two terms that you are enrolled. After you complete ENGL
1102, then you should take the Regent's reading and essay exam if you
are required to do so. Business Majors are strongly encouraged to take MATH 1111 (College Algebra). This course is the prerequisite for MATH 1113 (Precalculus). Most schools that offer a business degree require business majors to complete at least the Precalculus course before they can graduate and others require Calculus. To get to that point, you should take College Algebra in Area A. MATH 1111 is also a good preparation for statistics which you will be required to take as well. |

| B |
Choose a minimum of four credit hours
from the following: COLQ 2991
Humanities Colloquium (2-0-2) |
At this point, any class except 1 hour P.E. courses will count in
this area for Business (or any other) majors. However, the college
has courses designed to fit in this area that were created to enhance
the education of all students. These courses have a prefix of COLQ
and are called Colloquium courses. The courses are 2 semester
credit hours and can not be used to satisfy any other requirements.
You are free to choose any acceptable course as an area B course. If you take MATH 1113 (Precalculus) as your Area D elective, one of the hours of that course (it is a 4-semester hour course) will count in this area, leaving you with 3 hours. So a possibility is that you could take another 3 hour course in Area B, such as an extra business elective. |
||||||
| C | Choose one of the following courses:
_______________ ENGL 2111, 2112, 2121, 2122, 2131, 2122 or PHIL 2010 or 2020 Choose one of the following courses: _______________ Hours Applied to Area C ...................................................... 6 HOURS |
My advice for business majors is to take classes for this area that you might enjoy. The English literature classes do have a prerequisite of ENGL 1101, but the other classes can be taken at any time. Remember that there are now 2 lists from which you have to choose Humanities electives. You have to pick one course from each list. | ||||||
| D |
Choose one of the following courses: 4 hours
Choose one of the following courses: 4 hours
Choose one of the following courses: 3 - 4 hours
Hours Applied to Area D for Non-Science Majors.....11 HOURS* **If a student takes both BIOL 1111K and BIOL 1107K, only one of these will count toward the Area D science requirement. The other may be used in Area B. **If a student takes both BIOL 1112K and BIOL 1108K, only one of these will count toward the Area D science requirement. The other may be used in Area B. |
There are a number of science classes with labs that can be taken
for credit in Area D. But the science faculty have certain courses
that they have created for majors outside of science and mathematics.
Those courses are the ones listed on the advisement worksheet.
Please note that Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL 2210K and 2211K) are
courses that are offered regularly for Nursing and Science majors, but
these courses will NOT count in Area D for other majors.
Also, a student cannot have credit for both BIOL 1111K and BIOL 1107K or
BIOL 1112K and BIOL 1108K. There is always some confusion as to what you can take in this area and you should know that you CAN take 2 different lab science courses; you do not have to take a sequence. As indicated in the Area B tips, if you take a 4 hour course in the elective portion of this area (for example, MATH 1113 or Precalculus), you can use the "extra" 4th hour in Area B. |
||||||
| E |
Choose one of the following courses: 3 hours
Choose one of the following courses: 3 hours
Choose two of the following courses: 6 hours
Hours Applied to Area E......................................................12 HOURS †Constitution and history requirement: The State of Georgia requires that any person receiving a degree from a state-supported college must demonstrate a knowledge of the history and Constitution of the United States and of Georgia. The history and Constitution requirement may be met by successfully completing HIST 2111 or HIST 2112. Students transferring from out-of-state or private institutions to Gordon who have had American history must pass a special examination on the history and Constitution of Georgia. |
You can take up to 4 History classes in this area if you
choose. Make sure that you only take 4 classes total and that one
of the classes is a Western Civilization class and the other is American
History. ANTH 1102 is a new course in Area E. The catalog description is as follows:
A survey of general anthropology, the comparative study of
humankind as a whole, including its major sub disciplines:
cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and
physical anthropology.
