Major Requirements

See appropriate departments in this Catalog for specific major requirements leading to a BBA degree.

Academic Policies

Minimum Standards for GPA

The minimum acceptable academic performance for CBA undergraduates at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa is (a) cumulative GPA of 2.0, (b) GPA of 2.0 in the major, and (c) GPA of 2.0 in all required business courses and major courses combined.

Probation

Students are placed on probation in the CBA for any of the following conditions:

1. The student’s cumulative GPA or GPA in required business courses or major falls below 2.0.

2. The student fails to complete BUS 310, 311, 313, and 316 within one year following admission to CBA.

3. Satisfactory progress toward graduation is not being made.

Double Major

To qualify for a double major, students must have a minimum cumulative UH Manoa GPA of 3.0 and a minimum UH Manoa GPA of 3.0 in the two proposed majors. At the time of application, the student must have completed at least one different course in each major. Courses counted toward the double major cannot be used as courses to meet the non-introductory electives requirement.

Transfers

Students completing their first two years of work at a community college or at another four-year institution should take only those business courses offered at the freshman or sophomore level (e.g., introductory accounting, business law). Business courses taught at community colleges may not be used to satisfy upper division course requirements in CBA (e.g., business statistics). Junior- and senior-level business courses are accepted only from colleges accredited by the AACSB.

Withdrawal Deadline

CBA strictly enforces a three-week withdrawal deadline. Students should be aware that some colleges, especially graduate and professional schools, do not look with favor on records spotted with grades of W. Similar attitudes are observed among some employers and scholarship grantors.

Graduate Programs

Master of Business Administration

The MBA program seeks to provide a solid academic foundation for professional careers in management. The curriculum is particularly strong in international business and focuses on developing the skills and breadth of judgment required of top-level managers and executives in both the private and public sectors. Students may select electives that fit their individual needs and interests. These may include student exchange programs at foreign institutions.

The environment within which managers operate will undoubtedly undergo many changes during the coming decades. The MBA, therefore, stresses the development of analytical skills and their application to decision-making rather than simply reviewing current practices.

Classes are held during evening hours during the academic semesters and during each of the two summer sessions.

Students may pursue part-time or full-time studies and may switch their rate of taking classes as they see fit. Part-time students may enroll in one 6-credit-hour core module each semester over four semesters. Full-time students typically complete their degree requirements in two years. Part-time students benefit from integrating their educational experiences with their present employment. Depending on the number of courses taken each term, part-time students usually complete the MBA in four to five years. 

Candidates for the MBA may choose either the thesis or non-thesis option. A total of 42-48 credit hours is required, depending on undergraduate background. Students who have earned a BBA from an AACSB-accredited institution within five years of enrollment in the University of Hawai‘i MBA will be permitted to waive BUS 610 (6 credit hours).
