Do all business courses count to meet the 24 hours needed as prescribed in requirement 4) above?

No, the board states that all related business courses taken must be upper-level courses (except statistics and economics courses, in which any level may be used). In addition, no more than 6 hours may be taken in any subject area. The approved business subject areas are business law, economics, management, marketing, business communications, statistics, finance and information systems or technology. Please note that the 24 hours can include upper-level business courses taken at the undergraduate level, but you will need to confirm eligibility with the TSBPA through completing the Application of Intent process.
