"When I started at Union, I had not declared a major. Once I started asking other students about the business school and learning more I just fell in love with it. Many times during my program I felt like I was already in the workplace."

Potential honors students should contact the director of the McAfee Honors Program.
The McAfee School of Business offers majors in Accounting and Business Administration, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, as well as a major in Economics with either a B.A. or B.S. option. Majors in Accounting and Business Administration are required to complete the General Core Curriculum and major requirements as detailed below. Majors in Business Administration will choose a concentration from Economics, Finance, International Business, Management, or Marketing. Students majoring in Business Administration may not minor in the same area as their concentration. The student seeking Tennessee Teacher Licensure in business subjects will select an appropriate major and complete the Professional Education Minor; details are shown below under "Teacher Licensure."
A minimum grade of C is required in all upper-level courses within the school of business majors and/or minors. B.S.B.A. students must select MAT 111 or higher for General Core Mathematics and ECO 211 for Behavioral Sciences General Core requirements.
Students pursuing a degree outside the McAfee School of Business and not pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration may not apply more than 31 hours in the areas of accounting, business administration, economics, finance, management, or marketing toward their degree requirements. Such students are cautioned against pursuing multiple minors if the minors will be used to satisfy degree requirements. Students pursuing the Bachelor of Art or the Bachelor of Science and majoring in Economics will only count ECO 211 and ECO 212 of the economics requirements as business hours for the purpose of determining the 31-hour limit.
