To be considered for admission to the Online BA in Business Administration degree-completion
program, students must have completed a minimum of:

institutions (including 6 units of American Institutions courses required by the State of California
and 30 semester units [45 quarter units] in CSU-approved general education [GE] coursework)
completed two semesters prior to transfer.
- A 2.50 cumulative grade point average. Returning CSUF students must have a 2.0 grade
point average.

- At least four* of the following seven lower-division business core courses with a grade of C or higher, two of which must be Business Writing and Business Calculus. Business Writing and Business Calculus must be completed with final grades of C or higher posted to official transcripts at the time of application. Any remaining lower-division business core courses not completed at the time of admission must be completed within one year of starting the Online BABA program.
The required transfer coursework can also be achieved by earning an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) in Business Administration from a California Community College.
* The degree-completion program comprises 54 upper-division semester units (18 courses). CSUF requires a minimum of 120 units to be eligible for graduation; therefore, to earn the degree, students must transfer 66 units and complete any outstanding lower-division general education, business core, and/or American Institutions courses at a local community college. For a complete list of graduation requirements, please consult the University Catalog.
To see if courses from your community college will transfer to Cal State Fullerton,
you can use ASSIST, a database that houses the transfer agreements between all California community
colleges and California public universities. Contact the advising and counseling center
at your college for assistance.
