University Studies courses fulfill university requirements for such areas as science, quantitative reasoning, writing, and cultural context. All students at UW must complete the University Studies Program (USP) to ensure they are well-grounded scholars.

Math Placement All students entering the College of Business will be required to take mathematics courses as part of their college requirements. It is necessary to determine the math skill level to place the student into the appropriate level math course to ensure their academic success. To accomplish this, we utilize a variety of tools both before the student arrives on campus such as ACT, SAT or GRE scores, eligible transfer credits from other colleges, universities or AP programs and once the student arrives using our own online placement exam or one of the proctored exams such as Accuplacer or Compass.

Common Courses in Business are courses all majors in the College of Business will take to gain exposure to the basic business skills and knowledge necessary to complete a well-rounded, high-quality business education. Common course work includes ACCT 2010 (1010), ACCT 2020 (1020), ECON 1010, ECON 1020, MGT 2020 (1040), FIN 2100 (3250), IMGT 2400, MGT 2100 (3210), MKT 2100 (3210), DSCI 2100 (3210), and MGT 4800.
