A Student-Designed Option in Business Administration is available for those whose interests are not fully satisfied by any of the other currently available options in the business administration major. If you desire a self-designed option you must submit to the faculty coordinator a standard written proposal describing your objectives and intended program of study. After approval by the faculty coordinator, the proposal must receive approval from the Undergraduate Programs Office in Paul College. The faculty coordinator is Professor Carole K. Barnett.

A typical plan of study follows, showing the major-required courses. Students take 16-18 credits per semester. Discovery Program requirements (including the Inquiry requirement in the first two years) and elective courses are taken as well. Students are expected to follow this course plan. In the first three semesters, students cannot take more than two major courses in a single semester. The options have additional requirements as noted. For a detailed schedule/plan of study for each option, students should check with the Paul College Undergraduate Programs and Advising Office for specific recommendations.
