Several professional development programs are also offered through CBA's Asia Pacific Center for Executive Development.

Undergraduate Programs

The College of Business Administration offers a professional, upper division program designed to give students a broad liberal arts background and a sound education in the essentials of business management. The BBA degree program, therefore, is comprised of three integral parts: (a) general education, (b) business fundamentals, and (c) a specialized major area of business. Students may select a major that complements their interests, aptitude, and career goals from such fields as accounting, finance, human resources management, international business, management, management information systems, marketing, and real estate. A double major and/or minor are also options, as well as a flexible major program.

Admission Requirements

Students transfer into CBA upon the successful completion of the following admission requirements:

1. Minimum of 55 credit hours of college-level work (junior standing);

2. Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 in all courses attempted (combined UH Manoa and transfer GPA from all other colleges attended) and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 at UH Manoa (if courses have been attempted at UH Manoa). If 30 or more credits at UH Manoa with a 2.7 cumulative GPA have been completed, the transfer GPA will not be used to determine admission;

3. Completion of the following pre-business courses with a combined GPA of at least 2.5, with no grade below C (pre-business courses may be repeated only if the grade earned is below a C): ENG 100, 101, 109, 200, or ELI 100; SP 151 or 251; ACC 201 and 202; AREC 210, QM 250, or MATH 203, 241 or 251; and ECON 130 and 131;

4. Minimum grade of C in ICS 101 and 101L (or equivalent); and

5. If three or more business courses (or equivalents) beyond the pre-business courses (e.g., business law, statistics, management, etc.) have been attempted, a combined GPA of at least 2.5 is required in those courses.

Students interested in applying to CBA should contact its Office of Student Academic Services for current information on admission and program requirements.
