  • Business Core Requirement: BSBA and BABA students must have a business core GPA of at least 2.0 OR a grade of C or higher in all seven business core courses.

Dual Degrees

A student pursuing a BSBA or BABA degree can concurrently pursue a second baccalaureate degree, provided that the second degree is awarded by another college.

A student may receive two degrees of the same rank provided they have:

  • a dual degree form approved by both colleges.
  • met the necessary curriculum and residency requirements for both degrees.

Residency Requirements

All business core and major courses must be taken in residence at the University of Florida. In addition, the last 30 hours to be applied toward a degree must be completed in residence in the college. This requirement may be waived only in special cases and must be approved in advance by the college's Undergraduate Committee.

Students may not take more than six (6) semester hours by correspondence during the final 60 semester hours required for the baccalaureate degree. Such work must have prior approval for each individual student by the college's Undergraduate Committee. Students who are on college probation may not take courses by extension or correspondence.

Honors, High Honors, and Highest Honors

Honors designations are based on three grade point averages: UF GPA, business core GPA, and major or area of specialization GPA. All three GPAs must meet the following minimum standards at the time of graduation in order for the honors designation to be awarded:

  • Honors: 3.2 GPA
  • High Honors: 3.6 GPA
  • Highest Honors: 3.8 GPA

A thesis is required for high or highest honors. BSBA students are required to pursue the honors thesis through one of the academic departments in the Warrington College of Business Administration. BABA students are required to pursue the honors thesis through one of the academic departments in the Warrington College of Business Administration or the department of his/her area of specialization. A thesis requires enrollment in a specific section of an honors thesis course and must be reviewed by at least one faculty member chosen by the department's honors coordinator. Students must have completed 90 semester hours of coursework at the time they enroll. The completed thesis and an abstract must be submitted to the supervising faculty member and the Honors Office in Tigert Hall (www.honors.ufl.edu). Postbaccalaureate students are not eligible to receive honors recognition.
