BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION In addition, students may join the Minority Business Society, the Hispanic Student Business Association, the Portfolio Management Association or the Business Administration College Council (BACC), the college's student government organization. The Fisher School of Accounting has three student organizations -- Beta Alpha Psi, the national accounting honorary; the Fisher School of Accounting Council, a student government organization; and the Florida Accounting Association, a social organization. Many accounting students are also members of the business fraternities and the business honorary, Beta Gamma Sigma. Many business and accounting groups invite guest speakers to discuss careers, interviewing, resume writing and other relevant topics. The organizations also offer students opportunities not always available in the classroom for closer interaction with faculty, business executives and their peers. International Programs The Warrington College of Business Administration believes that knowledge of the global marketplace is vital for managers who will lead American corporations into the 21st century. An excellent way to obtain such knowledge is to study abroad for a semester or a full academic year. The college has established exchange agree- ments with numerous foreign universities which allow UF students to count the credits earned abroad as part of their UF degree. Programs include the Helsinki School of Economics and Business Administration in Mikkeli, Finland; the Norwegian School of Management in Oslo; the Haarlem Business School in Haarlem, the Netherlands; Nijenrode University in Breukelen, the Netherlands; Denmark's International Study Program in Copenhagen; and Luigi Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. In addition, students fluent in German may study at Leopold Franzens University in Innsbruck, Austria, and students may learn commercial French at ESP Lyon in Lyon, France. Summer programs are also available at the Finnish and Danish schools; there is a summer study tour including London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Warsaw and Prague; and internships in England are available through Richmond College in London. Finally, the college is a' member of several international consortia that expand even more the range of opportunities for foreign study, and the possibilities for infor- mal arrangements for transferable overseas study are virtually unlimited. Participants in approved programs can receive financial aid as if they were studying in Gainesville, can count summer courses taken abroad as part of their summer study obliga- tion, can study abroad during the last 30 hours of their programs, and can, with careful plan- ning and prior approval, count course work taken abroad as part of their major or business core requirements.

Academic Advisement The Warrington College of Business Administration's Undergraduate Programs Office is located in 100 Business. This office is responsible for advising students in all under- graduate programs available through the col- lege, including the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (BABA) and the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA). Freshman and Sophomore Requirements Freshmen and sophomores at the university will be admitted to the Warrington College when they declare a major within either BSBA or BABA degree programs; their classification will be BA (Business Administration). These students will be allowed to maintain their BA classification as long as they continue to meet or exceed the universal tracking criteria. Students who fall below these minimums must see an academic adviser. Transfer Admission Requirements Transfer students will be admitted to the college only for the fall, spring and summer A/C terms, provided they have an Associate of Arts degree from a Florida public institution and meet or exceed the 60-hour standards for their declared degree program. Application deadlines are strictly enforced (see the univer- sity calendar in this catalog). Transfer students who do not have a completed application on file, including all required documentation, tran- scripts, etc., will not be considered for admis- sion and will be required to make formal appli- cation for a subsequent term. Admission requirements can and do vary among the business and accounting programs at the ten universities comprising the State University System. To ensure that they have met all prerequisite course eligibility require- ments, transfer students from Florida commu- nity colleges should complete the following courses as part of their Associate of Arts degree: ACG 2021C (or ACG 2001 and ACG 2011), ACG 2071, ECO 2013, ECO 2023, MAC 2233, STA 3023 (or QMB 2100), CGS 2531 (or an approved equivalent or demonstrated computer literacy). Completion of these courses will satisfy prereq- uisite course requirements for all business and accounting programs and will ensure that a stu- dent will receive further consideration for admission. Preprofessional Requirements Preprofessional courses may not be taken by correspondence or under an S-U Option. Students who wish to use a course from another institution should first consult the Undergraduate Programs Office to determine whether the course has been approved for equivalency.
