Business Scholars Program
The Business Scholars Program at Saint 直播自慰视频 University's Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business allows students to complete any undergraduate business degree in only three calendar years, including summer courses. This unique SLU program helps you start the next phase of your life a year earlier, saving time and money.
The Business Scholars curriculum has the same content and credit-hour requirements as the traditional four-year degree but is structured to allow students to earn their degree in three years.听Scholars generally take six classes each fall and spring semester and one to two classes over the summer.
As long as the Business Scholars curriculum plan is followed, these students have guaranteed enrollment in their scheduled business courses, benefit from specialized advising and mentoring, and are awarded a scholarship if they remain on track to graduate in a three-year period.听
High school seniors applying for admission are reviewed on an individual basis. The best-qualified students are selected from the application pool with a required minimum high school GPA of 3.75 on a 4.00 scale.
Standardized test scores are optional but recommended. International applicants may be required听to听submit proof of English proficiency. Applicants should note that students accepted in previous years had an average composite 30-plus ACT or an average听total 1330-plus SAT.
Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment听unless otherwise noted. 听
Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.
This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
