Future Business Administration (BUS) students may have to complete the first four BUS courses with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 to declare the major. The Business Administration department recommended this change on February 4 meeting. To become effective, the recommendation will have to be approved by the Faculty Assembly and then by the Board of Trustees.

 

Christopher Stone came from Wisconsin to Bulgaria for a semester to teach upper-level Business Administration (BUS) courses - Organizational Theory and Behavior, and International Strategic Management at AUBG.

The Journalism and Mass Communication (JMC) department is changing its curriculum as demanded by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education in 2006, when AUBG got its Bulgarian accreditation.

 

Depending on the program, graduate schools allow students to build on research projects started in college, or to further develop in a field of interest different from their major. Doing an internship, finding a job or volunteering, are some alternatives to studying at a graduate level.

The administration explained that the rationale behind the decision is essentially to discourage free-riding. "Students who take a lot of overloads are making others pay for their education," Vice President (VP) for Finance and Administration Alexander Alexandrov said. "A student [who] takes six courses instead of five is more expensive to educate," Dean of Faculty Steven Sullivan said.
