Courses in the Discovery Tier can apply towards the business core, major requirements and upper division business electives, as well as non-business minor or major requirements. Students can apply a maximum of two business courses for both Discovery Tier requirements and business core, major, upper division business electives to reduce overall credits a student needs to graduate; a maximum reduction of 6 credits in total. A "Business Course/Discovery Tier Theme - Reduction of Credits Request" form must be submitted for each course a student intends to use to reduce overall credits. |
2 | Students must also complete the Writing Intensive (WRIT) and Engaging Social System and Values 2 (ESSV2) requirements of the MCC. These requirements can be fulfilled through designated courses in the Discovery Tier or other degree requirements. |
3 | 9 credits of non-business electives are required for Accounting majors. All other majors require 15 credits of non-business electives. |
4 | The open elective can be used for: a non-business elective or a business elective outside of a declared major; internship for credit in any business discipline, even declared major(s); or a study abroad business elective. If a student is electing to use a business course as an open elective in the non-business elective area, a "Business Course as Non-Business Elective Request" form must be submitted to the college. |
Amount and Quality of Work
- A minimum total credit hours of 129. However, a student may graduate with total credit hours of 122-129 if completion of the following occurs:
- Dual application of up to two business courses (6 credits) within the Marquette Core Curriculum Discovery Tier Themes for business core and major requirements. For reference: The university allows a maximum of two business courses in the Discovery Tier Theme to apply towards business major requirements. The College of Business Administration allows up to two business courses in a student's declared Discovery Tier Theme to dual apply towards business core, major course work and/or upper division business electives to reduce the overall number of credits a student needs to graduate by a maximum of 6 credits. Submit appropriate forms for credit reduction.
- Waiving the one-credit BUAD 1060 Business Applications: Basic Business Analytic Tools course through passing a waiver exam provided by the college.
Both of these options can reduce overall credit totals, so long as these reduction requests are submitted in advance to the college's Dean's Office. These are the only pathways for a student to graduate with less than 129 credits and earn a B.S. in Business Administration degree.
- A minimum GPA of 2.000 must be earned in all courses taken at Marquette University.
- A minimum GPA of 2.000 must be earned in all College of Business Administration courses taken at Marquette University (2.500 for accounting majors). A grade of C or higher must be earned in each of a student’s major requirements and electives, including the core courses introducing the major. If a student is a single business major, any course used for upper division business electives will also count towards the single major's GPA.
- At least one International Business elective must be completed.
- The College of Business Administration follows the university's residency requirement policy to define credits that must be completed at Marquette University.
- On occasion, seniors are required to take a comprehensive examination testing their grasp of the concepts, principles and relations covered in the core business courses. A similar test might be given in any one of the majors.
- If students have 122-129 or more credits; an overall GPA of 2.000 or higher; a Business GPA of 2.000 or higher (2.500 for accounting majors); have satisfied all degree requirements; however, do not achieve a C or better in each of their major courses including the core course introducing the major, students are conferred a B.S. in Business Administration degree with a major in business administration (if the business administration major GPA is 2.000 or higher). If students meet the overall and college minimum GPA and complete enough credits, but while attempting two or more majors, achieve a C or better in all courses for one major but not in another major, students are conferred a B.S. in Business Administration degree with a major in the former but not the latter.
- It is the candidate’s responsibility to meet all university academic, financial and administrative requirements and procedures as outlined elsewhere in this bulletin, including the University Commencement Policy.
University Graduation Requirement
Undergraduate Graduation Policy
Students are required to graduate at the end of the term in which all degree requirements are completed. Degree requirements are those requirements, including university, college and all other requirements necessary to earn a minimum of one undergraduate degree and any declared degrees/majors/minors/concentrations. That is, additional degrees/majors/minors/concentrations may be earned; however, they must be completed in the same term as the first degree/primary major is completed. Except in the case of readmission, undergraduate students must meet the graduation requirements which are stated in the Undergraduate Bulletin issued for the year in which they entered Marquette. Substitutions or waivers for specific courses required for degree completion may occur, as determined by the college and/or the Marquette Core Curriculum committee.
Students who have interrupted their enrollment from the university, are normally obliged to follow the degree/major/minor/concentration requirements in effect at the time of readmission. Policies that are in effect at the time of the return, apply to all students, regardless of the term of initial enrollment. Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the requirements which apply in their particular cases. Students have faculty advisers available who assist in planning and implementing their plan of studies; however, it is ultimately each student’s responsibility to know and fulfill the requirements for graduation specified for the selected plan. This should be done not only by utilization of specific advisers, but also with Academic Advisement, the university’s online degree audit tool on CheckMarq provided to all undergraduates. With Academic Advisement, students track their degree progress until graduation. It is the responsibility of students to immediately bring any discrepancies found in Academic Advisement to the attention of their college.
A candidate for a baccalaureate degree must meet the following graduation requirements:
- In all undergraduate colleges and programs, a minimum of 120 credits earned and a cumulative grade point average of 2.000 is required for a Marquette undergraduate degree.
- Credits required to be completed in residence at Marquette:
- A minimum of 45 total credits must be completed at Marquette. Up to 15 of the 45 credits may be completed through an approved study abroad program.
- A minimum of 24 upper-division credits must be completed at Marquette. This may include upper-division credits from an approved study abroad program.
- At least 30 of the final 36 credits needed to complete a Marquette undergraduate degree must be completed at Marquette, unless those credits are earned in an approved study abroad program, or are earned as part of a written/contractual agreement with another institution, in which Marquette students participate during the final year of their degree program.
- A minimum of one-half of credits in the major, minor, and concentration not attached to a major must be completed at Marquette.
- Students must attend all courses, lectures, or any other exercises that are required, even though, in some cases such activities receive no recognition in terms of credit hours.
- Students' records must be cleared of all grades that are not permanent, i.e., grades of I, IC, IE and NG.
- Students must file the online application for a degree by the deadline published in the Academic Calendar; however, because students are required to graduate at the end of the term in which all university, degree requirements are complete, the university reserves the right to graduate a student without a graduation application on file. If the university exercises this option, there is no guarantee students will be able to participate in Commencement.
- Commencement is held in May, after the spring term. Participation in Commencement does not mean students are graduated. See the Commencement Policy in this section for further details.
- Exceptions to this Graduation Requirements policy must be approved by the Office of the Provost, except:
- the course and bulletin year exceptions listed in the 'Graduation Requirements' section above (as approved by the college)
- number 3 above (as approved by the college)
For additional college requirements, consult the Degree Requirements listed for each undergraduate program in this bulletin.
Graduation Latin Honors
The grade point average is used to compute graduation Latin honors. The computation is made by dividing the total number of grade points earned at Marquette University by the total number of grade point hours earned. The official Marquette GPA of all students is calculated by the student information system and this GPA is not rounded up or down for any reason. To graduate with Latin honors, candidates must be pursuing their first bachelor's degree, earned at least 60 grade point hours and 60 degree hours at Marquette University, normally as a junior and senior. First bachelor's degree is defined as the first bachelor's degree earned from any institution. When students earn a concurrent additional bachelor's degree (i.e., finish in the same term as the first bachelor's degree), the additional degree is also eligible for Graduation Latin Honors, if the first bachelor's degree qualifies.
Graduates whose grade point average is 3.500, graduate with cum laude (Latin for 'with honor'); graduates whose grade point average is 3.700, graduate with magna cum laude (Latin for 'with great honor'); and graduates whose grade point average is 3.900, graduate with summa cum laude (Latin for 'with highest honor'). Graduation Latin honors are recorded on diplomas, noted in the published lists of graduates at Commencement and recorded on students' transcript.
Graduation Record
The academic record of students is frozen once the degree is posted and may not be altered thereafter, unless required to do so by law and/or a documented university error is discovered after the degree is posted. This includes, but is not limited to: all relevant grade point averages, grades, additional information relating to the degree(s), major(s), minor(s), concentration(s), Latin Honors and academic censure.

Commercial Banking Program
Unique to the Midwest, the Commercial Banking Program takes the first steps towards the professionalization of Commercial Banking, on par with other professions, and is designed to complement other known industry programs and to build a foundation of professional discipline at the academic level.
Recognizing that a gap exists in the industry, Marquette University understands that one of the greatest challenges, and opportunities, faced by society today is to bolster the economy. Investing in a program that can help to rejuvenate the banking industry, takes the steps necessary to embrace this challenge. The Commercial Banking Program at Marquette University is designed to fulfill the value proposition of providing excellent careers and jobs for students and provide talent and succession for banks. As part of a nationally ranked Finance department the Marquette Banking Program offers students a focused direction in their career aspirations. Rather than simply graduating with a degree in Finance, students graduate with a concentration in Commercial Banking, thus elevating the discipline to the stature of other notable professions. By educating Finance majors on the core tenets of banking, bank management and risk management, the goal is to deliver professional Marquette Bankers to the industry, armed with the knowledge to be fully productive from the day they enter the bank. With a total of eight courses in finance and banking, coupled with two summer internships, graduating students are well armed to grasp today’s challenges in banking and advance a fresh look at the issues, challenges and problems facing banks.
Students apply to the Commercial Banking Program in the early spring term of the sophomore year. Notification of acceptance occurs by the middle of the spring term, with acceptance based upon:
- Grades earned to date of application (GPA > 3.000)
- Resume and references
- Essay
- Interview

Note: Any waivers or transfer of courses must be approved by both the Banking director and the assistant dean for undergraduate programs.
b. All students in the Commercial Banking program who participate in an internship must do so satisfactorily in accordance with the Student Summer Internship Form. Students must complete at least one internship at a bank between the (a) sophomore and junior year or (b) between the junior and senior year. It is highly beneficial to the student to have two internships, ideally at banks, as the greater the familiarity the likelihood that these may translate into a full-time position.
There are two ways to record this internship experience on an academic transcript. 1. A student can apply for and enroll in the appropriate 0-credit course FINA 3986 Internship Work Period prior to the commencement of the summer internship. Given the satisfactory completion of the summer internship experience, students may register for the appropriate internship course (FINA 4986 Finance Internship - Grading Period) in a term subsequent to the internship to have 3 credits applied to their transcript. 2. A student can apply for an enroll in FINA 4989 Finance Internship Work and Grading Period if taken during a fall or spring term. This allows a 3-credit course to be added to a student’s term course load in the same term the internship is completed.
c. Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.000 during the entire program.
d. Carry a typical course load of 15-19 credit hours per term.
e. Failure to meet academic standards in any term may result in the student being dropped from the Banking program. A review panel consisting of the Banking director, Finance chair and assistant dean for undergraduate programs reviews records of students that fail to meet the academic criteria described above. Following the review, the decision to drop a student from the Banking program is at the discretion of the Banking director.
f. Any appeal of the decision to be dropped from the program must begin with the Banking director. The decision of the Banking director can be appealed in writing to the executive associate dean of the College of Business Administration. Finally, the student may appeal in writing the decision to the dean of the College of Business Administration. The dean’s decision is final.
g. If at any time a student leaves or is dropped from the Banking program, all credits earned at that point are counted toward the finance major.
For more information, contact the Banking director, Dr. Kent Belasco at (414) 288-6882 or Kent.Belasco@marquette.edu.
