What’s the difference between the cumulative GPA and the pba core GPA?
The business school will consider two different GPAs when a student applies for admission. The first is a student’s cumulative GPA. This GPA includes all coursework that the student took graded even transfer work. The minimum cumulative GPA for admission is a 2.90. The second is the pre-business administration (pba) core GPA. This GPA just includes a subset of courses required for admission into the business school: BA 101, EC 201, EC 202, ACTG 211 and ACTG 213. The minimum pba core GPA for admission is a 2.75. Students are required to meet both GPA requirements for admission into the major.
