Junior/Senior A&S Electives. These electives must be selected from the 3000/4000-level courses taught by the College of Arts and Sciences. These electives enable the B.B.A. program to meet the breadth requirement of the college's accrediting body and cannot be taken in the Robinson College. On a petitions basis, nonprofessional, 3000/4000level courses from other GSU colleges may be considered as substitutes for A&S electives. Such a petition must be submitted before the course is taken.
Refer to each semester's Schedule of Classes bulletin to determine which college teaches a course. Do not refer only to the course title. For example, titles with the word "science" in them are not necessarily A&S courses.
Exceptions to the requirement that A&S electives be 3000 or 4000-level courses: Math 2211, 2212, 2215, and 2420 may be taken to satisfy all or part of the A&S elective requirement if the student will still have a minimum of 39 upper-level semester hours to complete at Georgia State. This provision ensures that the student will meet the university's academic residence requirement.
For the following two specific majors, these required 2000-level mathematics courses may be used to satisfy part of the A&S elective requirement:
Actuarial Science: Mathematics 2211, Mathematics 2212, and Mathematics 2215 (grade of C or higher required in Math 2215). These courses carry four semester hours of credit each. If the student's mathematics background permits beginning this calculus sequence in Core Area A or D (in place of college algebra and/or precalculus), three-semester hour courses that meet the requirements for A&S electives will replace Mathematics 2211 and/or Mathematics 2212. Thus, this portion of the curriculum can range from 10 to 12 semester hours.
Computer Information Systems: Mathematics 2420 unless chosen in Core Area D.

Courses for each major should be selected after reviewing the appropriate school or department descriptions for each major that follow and, if needed, after consultation with a faculty adviser in the school or department that offers the major. The catalog describes each major and, if applicable, lists possible areas of specialization within the major. The required courses in each major, if any, are also listed in the school or department descriptions. The college reserves the right to amend this list of majors at the end of any semester.
