General Business Studies

  • For students who want to gain knowledge in business without being constrained by a major

Students will be automatically assigned to General Business Studies if they

    • Do NOT have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 after the final examination of this semester
    • Do NOT declare their majors (submission of incomplete major declaration form / major declaration form is not submitted)

 

Major Declaration Requirement

Requirement of Each Major: Minimum cumulative GPA (cGPA) 2.0 in 2nd semester 2020/2021

  • Complete Major Declaration Form (FBA/Form/005)
  • Prioritize your choices
  • Rank all majors from 1 to 6 as instructed
  • State preference for specializations
  • Submit the form during major declaration period; please submit to FBA General Office (E22-G031) during office hours or Drop-off box outside FBA General Office during non- office

Final Result of Major Declaration

Major will be assigned with reference to your cumulative GPA till this semester (i.e. academic results of this semester will be counted).

Students who select certain major as their first choice will be entertained with priority in that area. Other students who declare it as second choice and so on will only be considered if there is/are free seat(s) left.

If the number of students who declare a specific major as first choice exceeds the major’s quota, students with lower cGPA will be looped to other choices according to stated priority, subject to the remaining quota of each major.

Students with cumulative GPA of 2.0 or beyond after the final examination of this semester AND have submitted COMPLETED major declaration forms will be assigned to a major according to their declaration. Otherwise, they will be assigned to General Business Studies automatically.

Final result will be posted on FBA e-notice board in early January 2021.
