
The 2+2 is a four-year plan that leads to a Bachelor of Business (B.B.) degree in Marketing 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
Marketing. 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 PreBusiness Program does not guarantee acceptance into one of the major areas as a candidate for the Bachelor of
Business degree.
