2. Ethics - Recognize the ethical, legal, and socially responsible issues underlying business situations

4. Leadership - Use the appropriate management and leadership techniques to guide organizations towards optimal solutions in a variety of settings
5. Management - Demonstrate a strategic understanding of core management functions, issues, and techniques in diverse contexts of business

Program Length:

The normal course load for a full-time student is 15 credit hours per term. It is possible, then, to complete the program in four terms. However, most students work at least part-time and frequently take only three courses per term, thus requiring 7 terms to complete the program.

Consultation with a Business Programs' Academic Advisor is strongly recommended in determining the appropriate course load for a student to undertake as well as in scheduling the sequence in which courses should be taken.

A general principle is to use caution: overloading a student schedule with too many courses may result in poor academic performance which is detrimental to one's GPA (and thus one's prospects to continue studies at the graduate level) as well to one's mental and physical health.

Success in small bites is sound advice in managing one's academic career.

Graduation Requirements:

Foreign Language, Civic Literacy, 2.0 Overall GPA, and Grade of 2.0 / C or Higher in All Required Courses

Academic Progress Policies:

Students in the Bachelor of Applied Science in Organizational Management (B.A.S.-OM) program must meet the following standards of academic progress:

• Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in upper-division courses. Failure to maintain this standard will initially result in a registration flag. A registration flag suspends the student's right to register for further upper-division courses without advisor permission. Failure to restore the student's GPA to a 2.0 will result in removal from the program. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation.
• Upper-division course grades below 'C' will not count towards degree completion. Any course receiving a grade of 'D', 'F', 'W' or 'I' must be successfully completed within the next two terms, earning a minimum grade of 'C.'
• Upon receiving a second grade of 'D', 'F', 'W' or 'I' in any upper-division coursework, a registration flag will be placed on the student's records. Appeals may be made to the Program Coordinator.
• Students will remain in good standing when earning a grade of 'D', 'F', 'W' or 'I' in less than 20% of upper-division courses attempted/completed. For example, a student enrolled in 15 credit hours (five 3-credit hour courses) is allowed a 'D', 'F', 'W' or 'I' in one course. Students exceeding this allowance will receive a registration flag. Furthermore, students exceeding this allowance for two consecutive semesters will be removed from the B.A.S.-OM program. Appeals may be made to the Program Coordinator.
• A grade of XF for academic dishonesty will result in removal from the program. Appeals may be made to the Program Coordinator.
• A minimum of two courses per academic year are required to remain in the program. Students not successfully completing two courses per academic year are considered not actively pursuing a B.A.S.-OM degree and will be removed from the program.

It is recommended that students meet with a Santa Fe College Business Programs' Advisor at least once a semester. Students are responsible for keeping advisors up to date on any issues that may hinder successful academic progress.

Definitions:

Upper-division: courses numbered in the 3000 and 4000 level category.
Registration Flag: a student's right to register for further upper-division courses will be suspended, pending advisor approval.
Appeals: a registration flag or program year removal appeal may be made in writing to the Program Coordinator, indicating sufficient evidence of unusual hardship which proved to be the proximate cause of a failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress.

• Students must apply for graduation upon enrollment in their last semester of coursework.
• Student Conduct Code
