GRADUATE STUDIES
A program leading to the M.B.A. degree is described in the Graduate Studies section of the University calendar.1) Students who are completing degrees in the Faculties of Arts and/or Science, or certain degrees in the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, may complete a minor in Business Administration.
2) Students who wish to undertake the Business minor program must have completed a minimum of ten courses. Application is made in the space provided on the Change of Academic Program Form, which must then be approved by the Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration, or delegate. Admission into the minor program is selective: at the time of application a student must have a cumulative average of at least 65%.
3) A minor in Business Administration shall consist of 24 credit hours comprising the following courses: Business 1000, 1101, 1201, 2301, 4000, 4500, and two courses chosen from Business 1600, 2101, 2201, 3101, 3320, 3700, and 4320.
4) Course prerequisites to all Business courses shall apply to a Business
minor. Students should note, for example, that the prerequisites
for Business 4500 are Business 1101, Statistics 2500 and Economics
2010. It should be noted that some courses are not offered every
semester.
1) The Office of the Registrar and the Faculty of Business Administration will assist students with any questions or problems which might arise concerning the interpretation of academic regulations. It is, however, the responsibility of students to see that their academic programs meet the University's regulations in all respects.
2) No student shall obtain more than one undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Business Administration.
3) The Committee on Undergraduate Studies, Faculty of Business Administration, may recommend that transfer credit for certain Business courses be awarded on the basis of successful completion of professional courses that lead to a professional designation (e.g. C.A., C.G.A., C.M.A.). Applications for transfer credit should be made through the Office of the Registrar.
4) The Faculty of Business Administration may approve that credit for certain
Business courses successfully completed through Memorial University of Newfoundland's
former Extension Services Division be granted upon application to the Registrar
for transfer credit evaluation.
Admission Modes and Requirements
Joint Degrees of Bachelor of
Commerce (Co-operative) and Bachelor of Arts
Joint Degrees of Bachelor
of Commerce (Co-operative) and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Minor or
Cognate from Another Academic Unit
Direct Entry (for High School Students)
Students may apply for admission into first
year of the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) program (Terms
A/B) directly from high school by indicating this in the appropriate
place on their Undergraduate Application for Admission/Readmission
to Memorial University of Newfoundland. Direct entry from high
school is subject to the applicant’s final acceptance to the University
and admissibility into either Mathematics 1000 or 1090. Terms A/B
normally starts in September.
Advanced Standing (for Current
Memorial Students)
1) Students may apply for admission with
Advanced Standing into terms beyond Terms A/B up to and including
Term 4. Students applying for admission to a term beyond Terms
A/B must have completed all of the courses required in the program
up to that term, including the courses required in Terms A/B, with
grades high enough to have met promotion requirements. Students applying
for admission with advanced standing must complete and submit to the
Office of the Registrar the Application For Admission to the Faculty
of Business Administration, normally on or before the deadlines specified
in the University Diary for the semester in which they intend to
begin their program.
2) Admission with Advanced Standing is competitive
and selective. Prospective students are therefore encouraged
to consider an alternate degree program in the event that they
are not accepted into the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative)
program.
3) The primary criterion used in reaching
decisions on applications for admission with advanced standing
is overall academic achievement. Selection, therefore, will be
based on a student's overall academic performance. Students with
weak overall academic records are unlikely to be admitted.
Transfers From Other Post-Secondary Institutions
1) Students who are transferring from other
universities must apply for admission to the University on or
before the deadlines specified in the University Diary for the
semester in which they intend to begin their program, to allow
sufficient time for the evaluation of transfer credits. Subject to
items 2) and 3) under Advanced
Standing (for Current Memorial Students) above, transfer students
from other universities will be placed in that Term of the program
judged by the Admissions Committee of the Faculty to be appropriate
considering equivalent credits. Regardless of the Term into which
they are admitted, transfer students must complete a minimum of
two work terms.
2) Subject to items 2) and 3) under Advanced Standing (for Current
Memorial Students) above, graduates of a three-year
community college business diploma program may be considered
for admission into Term 3. Space for Term 3 admissions is limited
and competitive and admission decisions will be based on overall
academic performance. Specific course requirements will be determined
on an individual basis at the time of admission.
1) Every candidate shall complete nine academic terms in the Co-operative
Program and shall normally be required to complete three
work terms. The 141 academic credit hours are distributed as
follows: 30 credit hours over the course of Terms A/B, 18 credit
hours in each of Terms 1 and 2, and 15 credit hours in each of Terms
3 through 7.
2) Students who have been admitted to the
Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) program must complete courses
in academic terms or "blocks" in the sequence, order and course
load as set out in Table I -Academic Course Program
- The Co-operative Business Administration Program. Academic
and Work Terms shall be taken in the sequence as set out in Table II - Plan of Operation - The Co-operative Business
Administration Program. Exceptions to this prescribed program,
including specified course load, must have the approval of the Admissions
Committee or of the Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the Faculty.
3) By the end of the Winter semester of their
first year, Terms A/B students must have successfully completed
the following 30 credit hours:
a) Six credit hours in
English courses*;
b) Mathematics 1000;
c) Economics 2010 and 2020;
d) Business 1000;
e) Twelve additional credit
hours in non-Business courses, at least 9 credit hours of which
must be in courses chosen from the Faculties of Arts and/or Science**
and/ or the School of Music.
* It is strongly recommended that students
complete English 1110, Comprehension, Writing and Prose Style,
as one of these English courses.
** Students who wish to complete the joint degrees of Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) [see entry immediately following

follows:
a) Computer Science 2801
b) Statistics 2500
c) Economics 3150
d) Fifty-one credit hours
in core Business Administration courses
e) Thirty credit hours
in elective Business Administration courses, including non-Business

the requirements outlined in a), b), c), d), and g) above.
5) Notwithstanding clauses 2) and 4) and
General Academic Regulation (Undergraduate) 1.1.3, students
do not require special permission to register for courses while
on work terms if the courses are in addition to the prescribed program.
6) The need for a specific course(s) or work
term requirement may be waived by the Committee on Undergraduate
Studies of the Faculty for students who apply for exemption
from the course(s) or work term requirement in question.

In addition, the standing of every student will be assessed
by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies in accordance with the
promotion requirements outlined in Clauses 2, 3, and 8 below.
2) Students in Terms A/B will be considered
for promotion to Term 1 at the end of the Winter semester of
their first year. At that time, for promotion from Terms A/B,
students must have successfully completed the 30 credit hours
prescribed in 3) of THE CURRICULUM
above, with an overall average on those 30 credit hours of at
least 65%. Students who do not satisfy these requirements will be
required to withdraw from the program and will not be promoted to Term
1.
Students who have been required to withdraw
following Terms A/B may be considered for readmission to the
program in accordance with the entry under ADMISSION MODES AND REQUIREMENTS
above, with the heading Advanced
Standing (for Current Memorial Students).
A required withdrawal for failure to meet
the promotion requirements from Terms A/B will not be reflected
on a student’s transcript.
3) For promotion from each of Terms 1 through
7, the requirements are the achievement of a passing grade in
at least 12 credit hours and an overall average of at least 60%

from the program and will not be promoted.
Students completing Terms 1 through 7 who
fail to achieve these standards will be required to withdraw
from the program. A required withdrawal from any of Terms 1 through

Students who have been required to withdraw
following any one of Terms 1 through 7 may be considered for
readmission after the lapse of two semesters, at which time they
will normally be required to repeat the term which they failed,
unless, in the opinion of the Admissions Committee, Faculty of Business
Administration, a more meaningful course of study would be appropriate.
In order to be considered for readmission,
students must formally apply for readmission to the program
not later than the deadlines specified in the University Diary
for the semester in which they wish to recommence their program.
4) The Committee on Undergraduate Studies
of the Faculty of Business Administration may promote a student

A decision of this nature will be made only for reasons acceptable
to the Committee on Undergraduate Studies, and in the case of
a student thought likely to succeed in future terms.
5) Work terms are scheduled in the "Plan
of Operation - The Co-operative Business Administration Program".
The dates for starting and finishing each work term are shown
in the University Diary.
Successful completion of the work term requirements
is a prerequisite to graduation.
6) A competition for work term employment
is organized by Business Co-operative Education.
Students may obtain their own work term jobs
outside the competition. Such jobs must be confirmed by letter
from the employer and approved by Business Co-operative Education
on or before the first day of the work period.
By entering the competition, students give
permission for Business Co-operative Education to supply their
university transcripts to potential employers.
7) A work report on a topic approved by Business
Co-operative Education must be submitted for each work term.
This report must be approved by the employer and submitted to
Business Co-operative Education on or before the deadline scheduled
by Business Co-operative Education. Evidence of the student's ability
to gather material relating to the report, analyze it effectively,
and present it in a clear, logical and concise form, will be required
in the report. Late reports will not be graded unless prior permission
for a late report has been given by Business Co-operative Education.
8) The overall evaluation of the work term
is the responsibility of Business Co-operative Education. The
work term shall consist of two components:
Student performance as evaluated by a co-ordinator,
given input from the employer, and a work report graded by
a co-ordinator or a member of faculty.
Evaluation of the work term will result in
the assignment of one of the following final grades:
a) Pass with Distinction: Indicates EXCELLENT
PERFORMANCE in BOTH the work report and work performance.
The student is commended for his/her outstanding performance
in each of the required components; pass with distinction has
been awarded to each of the work report and work performance.
b) Pass: Indicates that PERFORMANCE MEETS
EXPECTATIONS in both the work report and work performance.
The student fully meets the requirements of a passing work
report and completely satisfactory work term performance.
c) Fail: Indicates FAILING PERFORMANCE
in the work report and/or the work performance.
For promotion from the work term, a student
must obtain PASS WITH DISTINCTION or PASS.
If a student fails to achieve the standards
outlined above, the student will be required to withdraw from
the program and may be considered for readmission after the lapse
of two semesters, at which time the student will be required to
complete a further work term with satisfactory performance before
being admitted to any further academic term in the Faculty.
9) A student who has been required to withdraw
from the program as a result of failing to meet the requirements
of either two academic terms or two work terms will not be eligible
for readmission to the program.
10) Students are not permitted to drop work
terms without prior approval of the Committee on Undergraduate
Studies upon the recommendation of Business Co-operative Education.
Students who drop a work term without permission, or who fail
to honour an agreement to work with an employer, or who conduct
themselves in such a manner as to cause their discharge from the
job, will normally be awarded a failed grade for that work term.
Permission to drop a work term does not constitute a waiver of degree
requirements, and students who have obtained such permission must
complete an approved work term in lieu of the one dropped.
NOTE: Students should also refer to the
UNIVERSITY
REGULATIONS -
GENERAL ACADEMIC REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE) of the

Direct Entry (for High School Students)
Students may apply for admission into first

research/writing courses may be satisfied by including two such
courses within the 78 credit hours in courses offered by departments
within the Faculty of Arts. Please consult the Undergraduate Registration
Procedures booklet to determine research/writing course offerings
in any given semester.
e) Major requirements for the degree of Bachelor
of Arts may be satisfied in 36 to 45 credit hours, depending
on the department or program chosen. Students are strongly recommended
to seek advice from the department or program of their Major
to ensure that their proposed degree program is possible within
the constraints of course scheduling and prerequisites.
2)Students are advised that, in order to complete the joint degrees within the minimum 150 credit hours, they should be prepared to complete at least three of the courses required for the degree of Bachelor of Arts as opportunities arise and as courses are offered. Following Term 2 of the program for the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) degree, these courses may be completed during the Spring semester between Terms 2 and 3, or during any of the three Work Terms (for example, in the evening or by distance), or as sixth courses during any of Terms 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 (following submission of a course load waiver).
3)To meet
the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative),
not fewer than 15 and not more than 30 credit hours in elective
courses must be chosen from Business courses (including non-Business
courses prescribed for a concentration). Students intending to
complete the joint degrees in the minimum number of 150 credit hours
should ensure that at least 78 of these credit hours are completed
in courses offered by departments within the Faculty of Arts (or
Psychology, Mathematics and Statistics, and Computer Science). Careful
planning, particularly in the selection of elective courses as well as
in the sequence of Major program courses, is therefore recommended to
ensure timely completion of the joint degrees.
