Physical Sciences ................................. .3-6 Biological Sciences....................................... ... 3-6 45 Students are expected to complete a total of 9 hours of the Physical and Biological Sciences. Satisfaction of the college's preprofessional requirements will satisfy the Mathematical Sci- ences (MAC 3233, STA 3023) and Social and Behavioral Sciences requirements (ECO 2013, ECO 2023), but will not satisfy the college's social sciences distribution requirements. In all other areas the college requires students to fol- low the General Education requirements for the Associate of Arts certificate as specified by the University of Florida. To determine whether a particular course will satisfy this requirement, review the Description of Courses section in this catalog or contact the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, 358 Little Hall. SOCIAL SCIENCES DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS In addition to the General Education requirements listed above, the college requires all students to complete 9 hours of social sci- ences course work taken outside of the field of Economics. This is a college distribution requirement and is not satisfied by the receipt of an Associate of Arts degree or certificate.

Computer and Information Sciences students are encouraged to take MAC 3311 and MAC 3312 instead of MAC 3233 and MAC 3234. The Department of Mathematics requires all stu- dents to take a placement test before they will be allowed to enroll in any beginning Calculus course offered by the department. The college does not allow its students to receive credit for both MAC 3233 and MAC 3311 or for both MAC 3234 and MAC 3312. COMPUTER LITERACY REQUIREMENTS The College of Business Administration expects all students admitted to the college to have a basic knowledge of microcomputers and familiarity with DOS, spreadsheets, and word processing. Instructors in business courses will expect students to be computer literate and will structure their course materials and teaching methods accordingly. Students lacking comput- er literacy and who do not intend to major in Computer and Information Sciences are encour- aged to take a microcomputer applications course, such as CAP 3802. ELECTIVE REQUIREMENTS Students should choose sufficient elective courses to complete the 64 semester hours required in lower division. These electives may be taken in such areas as mathematics, social sciences, foreign language, and humanities, but may not be taken in a student's major field. PROPOSED SEQUENCE OF LOWER DIVISION COURSES This sequence is designed to provide guid- ance for students wishing to be considered for admission to the College of Business Adminis- tration. Although this sequence will satisfy the admission protocols that were previously defined, students are encouraged to make adjustments to this sequence of courses in light of their personal strengths, weaknesses, and out- side constraints. For example, General Education courses between the 1st and 2nd semester and between the 3rd and 4th semester may be easily exchanged, and students may wish to take a 4- hour General Education course in place of a 1- hour free-elective. Students who need further clarification should contact an adviser in the col- lege's Undergraduate Programs Office located in room 201 of the New Business Building. Semester 1.

They include business core requirements, major field requirements, and free-elective requirements. Students must speci- fy a major field of study at the time they apply for admission to the college. Once students are admitted to the college, they must seek formal approval before they will be allowed to change their major. Approval will be dependent on their performance to date and the college's fac- ulty, resource, and enrollment constraints. BUSINESS CORE AND MAJOR FIELD REQUIREMENTS Students are required to follow the upper division curriculum specified for their major. All business core and major field course work must be taken in residence at the University of Florida. Students who have taken equivalent course work at another institution will be required to either retake the course at the Uni- versity of Florida or, subject to the approval of the college's undergraduate committee, take a higher level course in the same subject area. Stu- dents should realize that additional semester hours are not earned when equivalent courses are repeated. MINORS Students within the College of Business Administration are encouraged to obtain minors offered by other colleges. Students outside of the College of Business Administration and the Fisher School of Accounting may apply for admission to the minor in Business Administra- tion. Information on the business minor may be obtained from the college's Undergraduate Pro- grams Office located in room 201 of the New Business Building. The college offering the minor is responsible for graduation certification and those students so certified will have the minor officially noted on their transcripts. I. Accounting Bachelor of Science in Accounting require- ments may be found in the section headed Fish- er School of Accounting in this catalog. II. Computer and Information Sciences The curriculum for Computer and Informa- tion Sciences (CIS) majors is designed to pre- pare students for technical and managerial positions in computer science in public and pri- vate organizations. The curriculum emphasizes three aspects pertinent to the student's profes- sional career: (1) the functions to which comput- ers are applied in organizations, (2) the professional skills for the design of computing applications, and (3) the decision-making tech- niques for the efficient and effective utilization of computing resources.
