Important Notes:
The College of Business (COBA) has a grade point restriction for enrolling in upper level business courses. Therefore if your overall GPA falls below that restriction level, you must either postpone taking MIS courses until your GPA improves, or you must change your emphasis.
For prerequisite purposes only, COBA permits the following substitutions of CompSci courses for COBA courses:
