Additional General Notes & Resources:
• Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits of Costello College of Business core and concentration courses at Mason, of which at least 9 credits required for the specific major and BUS 498. All business foundations, business core, and concentration requirements must have a grade of C or higher. Students are not permitted to take more than three attempts to achieve a C or higher in any of the Business Foundation, Business Core, and business concentration requirements. Those who do not successfully complete the Business foundations or core within three attempts will be terminated from the Costello College of Business and not eligible to receive a degree from the Costello College of Business. Those who do not successfully complete a concentration requirement within three attempts will be terminated from related concentrations and will need to choose a different concentration.
• For academic policies and procedures, please see Mason catalog - https://catalog.gmu.edu/policies/.
• Students seeking a bachelor's degree must apply at least 45 credits of upper-level courses (numbered 300 or above) toward graduation.
General Education Waiver Policy and Guidance:
• Students who complete a VCCS transfer associate degree (AS, AA, or AFA) will receive a waiver of the Foundation and Exploration (lower division) Mason Core general education categories, which can be found here: https://catalog.gmu.edu/mason-core/. To be eligible for the waiver, the students must provide
the Mason Office of Admissions with a final, official transcript reflecting the degree conferral date. As a prerequisite for ENGH 302, ENGH 101 is not waived. Students must complete ENGH 100 or ENGH 101, or an equivalent, with a C or higher.
• When a course fulfills a Mason Core requirement and a major or college requirement (e.g. Major & Quant), students must complete the course listed on the pathway to fulfill the major/college requirement. Courses that fulfill only Mason Core Foundation and Exploration categories are recommendations. In most pathways, ADVANCE students must complete a Quantitative Reasoning course to matriculate through ADVANCE.
• ADVANCE students must complete the associate degree indicated on their pathway (see the ADVANCE Program Milestones listed above). Students who withdraw from ADVANCE and transfer without the associate degree or UCGS are required to complete each Mason Core general education category.
