Human Resource Management

The 2+2 is a four-year plan that leads to a Bachelor of Business (B.B.) degree in Human Resource Management at
WIU. Students will fill out applications for both schools, and consult the advisors and the catalogs for both schools for
specifics. This completion guide is designed to ensure graduation in four years by taking courses at both BHC and
WIU. This guide assumes students have met all course prerequisites required by BHC and admissions requirements
for WIU.
Upon completion of the first two years requirements at BHC, students will receive an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree.
Students will be required to complete business core and major course requirements at WIU, and upon completion of
the final two years curriculum requirements students will receive the B.B. degree with a major in Human Resource
Management. In general, a minimum of 64 semester hours (s.h.) will be taken at BHC at BHC rates and 60 s.h. from
WIU at WIU rates.
Under this agreement, acceptance as a declared business major requires the completion of a minimum of 60 s.h. with a
cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.50. The student must have also completed ACCT 201 and 202, ECON 231
and 232, MATH 137, and STAT 171. Transfer students not eligible to declare will be limited to 29 hours of business
coursework as noted (Note 8.) below until these requirements have been met. Enrollment in a Pre-Business Program
does not guarantee acceptance into one of the major areas as a candidate for the Bachelor of Business degree.
