Program Admission Statuses
Full Admission: All BBA prerequisites have been completed.
Conditional Admission: Students may be conditionally admitted to the program if they have completed at
least 8 of the 10 prerequisite courses, with both English classes and at least one of the mathematics
courses (equivalent to MAT 119 or MAT 131) completed. Conditional admission is valid only for the first
semester of BBA coursework. Students are not permitted to progress in the BBA coursework until proof of
prerequisite completion has been submitted.
Not Yet Eligible: More than 2 of the BBA prerequisites are in progress or not yet completed. Students not
yet admitted to NAU will also receive a “Not Yet Eligible” letter.
Updating Program Admission Status
If you are assigned “Not Yet Eligible” or “Conditional” status upon review of your program application; you
will need to submit unofficial transcripts to the advisement team each semester as you make progress
toward meeting the BBA program admission requirements.
Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC)
The AGEC helps with university admission and satisfies NAU's Liberal Studies and Diversity Requirements.
The AGEC is embedded in the ABUS. When you apply for graduation be sure to request that the ABUS and
AGEC are both awarded.
Transferring to Flagstaff
This program is not offered on the main campus in Flagstaff. This is an Extended Campus degree managed
by the NAU-Yuma branch campus. Students wishing to transfer from a community college to Flagstaff
should speak with a program advisor from the W.A. Franke College of Business located in Flagstaff.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available for this program. Students can visit our financial aid website at:

and many are renewable each year. To see available scholarships visit the financial aid web site:
Be sure to fill out the NAU Scholarship Application to apply for
various scholarship opportunities.
Tuition Rates
NAU has one of the most affordable tuition rates in Arizona and the nation, and Extended Campus
students often pay slightly less in tuition than those attending the campus in Flagstaff! Current tuition
