Required Courses in the Pre Major
All students wishing to major in Business are admitted
to SDSU as pre-business (Business Administration) majors, whether
they are freshmen, lower-division transfers, or upper division transfers.
Students usually spend the first half of their college work (whether
at SDSU or at another college) working on the pre-business requirements.
Students are eligible to declare an upper division
major when they meet the impaction requirements.
The impaction requirements are:
- Complete the following 9 (8 for Accounting majors) Preparation
for the Major classes with a C or better in each:
Financial Accounting (ACCTG 201) [formerly ACCT230]
Managerial Accounting (ACCTG 202) [formerly ACCT 220]
Principles of Information Systems (IDS 180)
Business Communications (IDS 290) [not required for Accounting
majors]
Macroeconomics (ECON 101)
Microeconomics (ECON 102)
Business Law (FIN 240)
Statistics (STAT 119)
Business Calculus (MATH 120) or Calculus (MATH 150)
Equivalent courses at other colleges may be substituted
for the SDSU classes listed. You can use SDSU's Transfer
Admission Planner to see if the classes you took at another
school are equivalent to (articulated with) SDSU courses. If you
do not find your course or school listed there, please consult the Business Advising Center.
- Complete at least 60 units of college-level
work. There are sample lower division programs available to show you how you can combine lower division General
Education classes and Preparation for the Major classes to meet
the 60-unit requirement.
- Have a 2.9 GPA in all college work completed.

[Note: a 2.9 SDSU GPA is no longer required.]
