Pre-Business Core
The minimum grade in every Pre-Business Core course must be a C or better (courses may not be taken credit/no credit), and must be completed with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5. The UC Berkeley GPA Calculator may be helpful in computing your Pre-Business Core GPA. The Pre-Business Core courses total 24 units.
Official copies of transcripts submitted as part of your Program Application package will be used to verify satisfactory completion of the Pre-Business Core admissions requirement. We reserve the right to accept or deny any non-CSUSM, non-articulated coursework (course syllabi may be required for review—please refer to the ASSIST Web site to verify articulated coursework).
