Course Distribution

The BS BTM Degree Program requires 128 credits for graduation. Key characteristics of this curriculum include:

1. 10 credits in courses in Mathematics
2. 34 credits in courses in Social Sciences and Humanities.
3. 8 credits in Science and Engineering, taken during students' Freshman year
4. 8 credits required in Computer Science.
5. 8 credits in a two-semester Junior and Senior course sequence. Students are free to fulfill this requirement by taking courses from any Department.
6. The remaining 60 credits required by the BS BTM Degree Program will be earned in Management courses.

Courses for the BS BTM Degree are taken in a 4x4 manner (4 courses per semester, each 4 credits) for 8 semesters; deviations from this template occur in the Freshman year, when the Calculus courses of 2 credits each are taken; in the 4th semester, when two 2-credit courses in data analysis are required; and in the 5th semester of the Program, when two 2-credit courses in Project Management and Business Ethics are required.

Course Numbering

The BS BTM courses are numbered using the following schema:

1. The first digit of a course number corresponds to the year in which a BS BTM student would take the course, 1 = Freshman, etc.
2. The second digit reflects the primary nature of the course material. Courses numbered with a second digit of:
   1. "0" are focused primarily on processes in management
   2. "1" are oriented toward Organizational Behavior
   3. "2" are quantitative in nature
   4. "3" describe a firm's relationships with external forces
   5. "4" study innovation
   6. "5" are capstone courses
      1. The third digit in a course number serves only to differentiate different courses
      2. The fourth digit reflect the number of credits
         Thus, MG 3304, Introduction to Supply Chain Management, is a 4-credit Junior year course focusing on external relationships.
