CSU Business Administration Degree Plan

Business Administration Degree Plan

Here is a Business Administration Degree Plan for University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) as of approximately March of 2024. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.

Alt Courses

The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students regarding which courses will be the easiest and quickest to take.

Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses

Start with Sophia.org. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows two courses to be open at one time, so only complete one course at a time that has touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, move on to Study.com.

How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?

Terms are 8 weeks long. Typically, you will take 2 classes per term which is full-time. If you transfer in 90 credits, you could complete a degree in around 10-12 months.

Source of Credit

This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits.

Sophia Equivalents

Study.com Equivalents

CLEP, DSST, AP Exams Equivalents and other Alt credit equivalents

General Education Requirements | 30 Credits

There are a total of 30 credits worth of General Education Requirements.

Please refer to the CSU GE Requirements Roadmap for details and suggestions on courses that will fulfill this requirement.

Business Administration Major | 51 Credits

There is only an equivalency guide for Sophia so it is unknown how courses from other providers will transfer in.

I suggest trying to find Study.com courses for Principles of Marketing, Human Resource Management or Information Systems Management. If you can find 2 courses, then you can do a concentration without having to do more than 10 courses at CSU.
