RECOMMENDATION TO BNCC/DE:
It is expected that students will pursue 1, 2 or 3 majors in Accounting, Business Administration,
Economics and Sociology. Only the majors have been assessed so far. For Associate Degrees
with majors in the Social Sciences, graduates with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 should be
accorded normal matriculation to UWI’s three-year Bachelor’s degree programmes. In addition,
graduates with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 and GPA of 2.75 in the specific courses
should be granted exemptions (with credit) from the equivalent UWI courses identified.
The BNCC/DE is being asked to note the above recommendations, approve and forward to the
Board for Undergraduate Studies (BUS).
