Academics

The Huntingdon College SBPS program awards a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. To qualify for graduation, a student is required to have a minimum of 120 credit hours, which include:

• Core Courses: Subjects include basic sciences, English composition, humanities, mathematics, social sciences, and religion. Some credit for these courses can be obtained through CLEP testing (see www.collegeboard.com to acquire more information regarding the subject tests only)
• Liberal Arts Electives: The courses within this requirement include courses in humanities, science, or social science.
• Major Courses: The courses within this requirement include courses in business administration, economics, and accounting.
• General Education Electives: Hours may vary based upon transfer credit received and remaining course requirements. These are courses of your choice to broaden your knowledge and skills.

Note: At least 30 credit hours must be completed through the SBPS program in order to obtain a degree.

Classes are delivered in five weeks through an accelerated course format requiring student preparation and work outside of the formal course structure. In many courses, students will have both a reading and writing assignment due the first night that a class meets. Our classroom-based courses are held one evening a week for a four hour period starting at 5:30 p.m. Class size is kept small, ranging from twelve to twenty, so that the students can interact easily and receive personalized attention.

Futher information regarding graduation requirements is available in the SBPS catalog (PDF).
