Bold type indicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better
Italic type indicates courses that satisfy both major and General Education requirements.
GWS, GQ, GHA, GN, GA, GH and GS are codes to identify General Education requirements.
The 3/6/9 rule allows students to vary the number of credits in GA, GH and GS categories.
W is the code to designate courses that satisfy university “Writing Across the Curriculum” requirements.
[1] Students must complete 3 credits of U.S. cultures (US) and 3 credits of international cultures (IL).
[2] Either Math 110 or 140 required for graduation; Math 22 or higher required for entrance to major.
[3] See internship coordinator for more information.
[4] Students who take MKTG 450W as an elective and earn a B or higher can count it toward MKTG 500 in the MBA program at Great Valley. MKTG 330 and MKTG 342 are pre-reqs to MKTG 450W. Completing STAT or SCM 200 with a B or higher satisfies a pre-program requirement.
