NOTES
1. All College of Business students must complete the University Composition Competency requirement.
After completing both ENG 1A at IVC (ENGL 1310 at UCCS) and a 2nd approved writing course (ENG 1B
and MGT 104 at IVC or ENGL 2080 at UCCS), students must either submit a Writing Portfolio or enroll in
an additional upper division writing course. Please consult a business advisor in the Student Success Center
at UCCS for complete details.
2. Area 5 (Natural Science) course selection must include at least one lab course.
3. Minimum Academic Preparation Standards (MAPS) are an admission requirement. UCCS requires at least
two years of high school or two semesters of college foreign language equivalent. Students who have met the
requirement through high school work need not complete this requirement for transfer to UCCS. Students
who still need to fulfill this requirement should complete through the second semester language acquisition
course.
