The business college was established in 1914 as the School of Commerce. The name was changed to the School of Business Administration in 1921, then to the College of Business Administration in 1967. It was renamed the Charles H. Lundquist College of Business in 1994. Its academic programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International—the undergraduate program since 1923, the graduate since 1962. The accounting programs have been separately accredited since 1989.

The college offers programs of study leading to bachelor’s degrees in accounting and business administration (with concentrations in finance, marketing, management, operations and business analytics, or sports business). It also offers a master of business administration (MBA) and master’s and doctoral degrees in accounting, finance, management, marketing, operations and business analytics, and sports product management.

At the undergraduate level, the college operates an honors program for high-achieving students. Minors are available in business administration, entrepreneurship, and sports business, offering majors the opportunity to enhance their degrees with the knowledge and organizational skills necessary for effective leadership in future professions. Students from all majors may also elect to earn a certificate in global business in preparation for an international career.

Research

Faculty members in the Lundquist College of Business carry on active programs of research, and are the recipients of numerous research awards. Their works are published in the leading academic journals of their disciplines, and many serve as editors or on the editorial boards of premier accounting, finance, management, marketing, and operations management journals. At the forefront of their fields, they bring new ideas to the classroom, keeping their students ahead of the curve through ongoing research on evolving national and international business practices and economic drivers.

Facilities

Designed to complement the college’s team-based approach to learning, the Lillis Business Complex enhances and enriches the business curriculum. Certified by the US Green Building Council at the silver level with their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design sustainability rating, the building features one of the largest solar installations in the Pacific Northwest and one of the pioneering uses of photovoltaic solar glass in the world.

The college also maintains a Portland location at 109 NW Naito Parkway, which houses its sports product management master’s degree and executive MBA programs, offering to students connections to the city's business community. The Portland facility also houses a product-making innovation lab, providing students with access to specialized equipment to design, build, and test prototypes of sports and outdoor apparel, footwear, and products.

International Experiences

Students are strongly encouraged to obtain international experience as part of their business education. The college and the university have partnerships with campuses worldwide to provide extensive opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to study, intern, and research abroad. Faculty-led study tours are also a popular option for students to obtain an introduction to another culture while making progress toward their degree. Business students may opt to study language, culture, business, or a combination of them depending on the specific program selected. Students are advised to meet with an advisor prior to participating in an international program to fully understand how such as experience might apply toward degree requirements. Undergraduates who study or intern in an approved program are exempt from some, or all, of the global context requirement. Business students are encouraged to contact the Office of International Affairs to learn more about these options. Undergraduate students interested in international business are particularly encouraged to take advantage of one of these programs while also completing the certificate in global business.

Undergraduate Programs

Academic Requirements

To earn an undergraduate degree in the Lundquist College of Business, a student must be an admitted major in good academic standing with the college and the university. Two sets of requirements must be completed: general university requirements and college requirements.

The college is firmly committed to an undergraduate degree program in business based on a solid foundation in the arts and sciences. Students may not earn two majors in the Lundquist College of Business; in other words, a student who has an undergraduate degree in business administration cannot earn another undergraduate degree from the college. See the Bachelor's Degree Requirements section of this catalog for specific requirements for bachelor’s degrees and for general-education and university requirements.

Students must satisfy the upper-division business core and major requirements in effect when they are admitted as majors.

For a more detailed explanation of requirements for majors, students should pick up the undergraduate degree programs handout in the Advising Office.

Business Premajor Admission

New students planning to earn a bachelor's degree in the Lundquist College of Business typically enter the university as business premajors. Transfer students and university students from other majors may become business premajors by submitting a Request for Addition or Deletion Major form, available in the Advising Office. Students who seek premajor status in business should meet with an advisor in the college if their GPA is below 3.00. Business premajors typically are not eligible to take most 300- and 400-level business courses. Business premajor status does not guarantee admission to the accounting or business administration major.

Admitted business premajors typically spend the first two years fulfilling general-education and premajor requirements.

Premajor Requirements

• Junior Standing. Course work of 75 or more credits must be complete.
• Cumulative GPA Requirement. Guaranteed admission requires a 3.00 cumulative grade point average in college course work, including transfer work. The college includes all course work when calculating the cumulative GPA for admission to the major.
• Holistic Review. Students who have taken all required business premajor course work but fall slightly below the minimum GPA requirements may be considered for admission under a holistic review process. For more details, interested students may visit an academic advisor in 203 Peterson Hall.
• English Competence. International students must have a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of at least 575 (paper-based test), 233 (computer-based test), 89 (internet-based test), an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 7.0, or have completed the Academic English for International Students (AEIS) program.

First-Year Direct Admission

Direct admission is only offered to first-year students who are entering in the fall term and list their intended major as business administration. The University of Oregon considers a number of factors when making direct admissions decisions, including high school GPA, strength of academic course work, test scores, and ability to enhance the diversity of the university. Students selected for direct admission will need to complete the lower-division course requirements but will not need to apply to the major like other students interested in business administration or accounting.

Business Premajor Courses

Premajor core business courses must be taken at the University of Oregon.

In addition, international students are required to take Academic English for International Students (AEIS) courses or produce English language proficiency test scores (575 on the TOEFL paper-based test, 89 on the TOEFL internet-based test, or 7.0 in the IELTS).

A 3.00 cumulative GPA (including both UO and transfer course work) and a minimum grade of C– in core courses are required for guaranteed admission to the major. Premajor requirements must be taken for letter grades. The university limits retaking of courses in which a P or mid-C or better is earned; a petition is required. When repeating a core course, only the second grade is used in calculating the core GPA. Core courses may be repeated only once (including marks of W, N, F, D, C–).

2

Must be taken for letter grades and passed with grades of C– or better.

Application to the Major

Students seeking admission through the standard pathway must submit a formal application for admission to the major one term prior to enrolling in upper-division business courses. Typically this takes place in the term they are completing their lower-division requirements. To be eligible for admission as a major, a student must apply before the term deadline. Applications are due the first week of the term for admission the following term.  Applications are not accepted during summer session. Students who are completing their final term of business premajor requirements may submit applications.

The following documents are required for admission:

1. Completed application form
2. Academic transcripts or proof of enrollment
3. A cover letter and résumé
4. Short answer essays

Definitions, Limitations, and Policies

Transfer Students

The sequential nature of this program requires careful academic planning. Students who want to transfer to the college are encouraged to meet with an advisor in the Lundquist College of Business early in their academic careers. Students are admitted to the university as business premajors. Once admitted, they may apply for major status in accordance with the procedure described. Applications are due the first Friday of the term for admission the following term.

Second Bachelor’s Degree

A student who has a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a field of business administration may not earn a second bachelor’s degree in business. Students who have earned a nonbusiness degree and want a second degree in a field of business must be admitted to the university as postbaccalaureate nongraduate students. Second-degree candidates must meet the same admission requirements and follow the same application process described.

Students retain business premajor status until admission requirements are completed or waived because of completed course work. Second-degree students must complete the same upper-division requirements as first-degree candidates. The Second Bachelor’s Degree section of this catalog, under Bachelor's Degree Requirements, lists university requirements for a second bachelor’s degree; the Undergraduate Advising office has information about Lundquist College requirements.

Residence Requirement

Students must complete a minimum of 44 upper-division credits in regularly scheduled Lundquist College of Business courses. With the department head’s approval, credits may be transferred from other accredited institutions, independent study, or approved courses in other departments.  Accounting majors must complete all upper-division accounting courses at the University of Oregon.

Grading

Premajor required courses and upper-division courses must be taken for letter grades and passed with grades of C– or better. See the Registration and Academic Policies section of this catalog for an explanation of the university’s grading systems.

Upper-Division Courses

Courses for the minor are open to nonmajors, and courses for the certificate in international business communication are open to students whose native language is not English. Only admitted majors in the Lundquist College of Business may enroll in all other 300- and 400-level business courses.

Continuous Progress

Students who do not attend the university for an extended period of time after being admitted as a major may be required to reapply for admission and fulfill current major requirements if the UO Catalog for the last year of attendance has expired. See Catalog Expiration and Requirements Policies in the Reader's Guide to the Catalog.

Graduate Programs

Graduate School of Management

The Graduate School of Management offers degree programs at the master’s and doctoral levels and coordinates the graduate work of the five academic departments in the Lundquist College of Business. Graduate instruction in every field of business is supported by courses in related fields offered elsewhere in the university.

The Graduate School of Management is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International.

Activities of the Center for Sustainable Business Practices, James H. Warsaw Sports Marketing Center, Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship, and the Marilyn C. and Gerry B. Cameron Center for Finance and Securities Analysis may be of interest to graduate students. The centers are described in the overview section to the Charles H. Lundquist College of Business.

Master’s Degree Programs

The Graduate School of Management offers course work leading to the master of accounting (MAcc), the master of science in finance (MSF), the master of science in sports product management (SPM), the master of business administration (MBA) and the executive master in business administration (EMBA). With the exception of the master of science in finance, master of arts (MA) and master of science (MS) degrees in the Lundquist College of Business are available to PhD candidates. Students must complete the requirements specified in the description of their degree program.

Doctoral Degree Programs

541-346-3251

The Lundquist College of Business offers a program of advanced graduate study and research leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy (PhD) for students preparing for careers in university teaching and research. The program is administered by the director of doctoral programs for the Lundquist College of Business, assisted by the PhD programs committee.

The PhD typically requires four or five years of intensive study with a concentration in accounting, finance, management, marketing, or operations and business analytics. The program focuses on developing productive scholars, and it emphasizes both research and teaching skills. Doctoral students must demonstrate competence in scholarly research, and they must assume primary teaching responsibility for undergraduate business courses sometime during their program. Students are expected to work closely with faculty members whose interests are similar to their own. Applicants are advised to be as specific as possible about their areas of interest. In the Lundquist College, with the exception of the master of science in finance, master of arts (MA) and master of science (MS) degrees are available to PhD candidates. Students must complete the requirements specified in the description of their degree program.

For more information, visit the website.

Concurrent Degree Programs

At the University of Oregon, the term “concurrent degrees” is used when a student is pursuing two degrees simultaneously. Below are some examples involving graduate degrees in business. For more information, visit the website.

MBA/MS in Finance

Business students may augment their management skills by developing expertise in finance. The curriculum for the master of science in finance is designed to provide students with insights from the most advanced theoretical and empirical research in finance while attending quarterly professional development seminars taught by a master career consultant. Through the Cameron Center for Finance and Securities Analysis, students have the opportunity to practice securities analysis and portfolio management in a live environment with access to the Pacific Northwest's financial, banking, and investment industry through the center's tailored series and study tours. The concurrent MBA/MSF program may be completed in two years. For more information, visit the website.

JD/MBA

In cooperation with the University of Oregon School of Law, a concurrent JD/MBA program makes it possible to earn both the doctor of jurisprudence and master of business administration degrees in four years instead of the five that would be required if each degree was completed separately. Students spend their first year in the School of Law and their second year in the Lundquist College of Business, or vice versa. The third and fourth years are spent taking advanced courses in both law and business.

It is a highly selective program; students must meet the admission requirements of both the School of Law and the Lundquist College of Business. Admission is allowed only for the fall term. Prospective students should consult the admissions staff of both the School of Law and the MBA program. Students interested in sustainability may obtain a JD/MBA with a sustainability specialization in both areas. For more information, visit the MBA website and JD website.

MBA/MAcc

Students who wish to pursue both an MBA and master of accounting degree may do so concurrently if they meet the admissions requirements for both. Concurrent MBA/MAcc students may save as much as two terms compared with the time required for both degrees independently. For more information, visit the website.

MBA/MA or MS in Conflict and Dispute Resolution

Business students may augment their management skills by developing expertise in the management of conflict. The master of arts or master of science in conflict and dispute resolution is structured to prepare a new generation of practitioners, educators, and scholars. Grounded in dispute resolution theory, the program combines broad interdisciplinary training and opportunities for individualized study and skills development. Concurrent MBA/MA or MS students have the option of obtaining both degrees in three years rather than the four years required if earned separately. Students are required to meet the admission requirements of both the schools. Admission is allowed only for the fall term. Prospective students should consult the admissions staffs of the MBA program and the program in conflict and dispute resolution, housed in the School of Law. For more information, visit the website.

MBA/MCRP

Business students interested in management and leadership roles related to city planning and land development should consider concurrent MBA and MCRP degrees. The master of community and regional planning (MCRP) prepares policy-oriented planners for leadership positions in the public, nonprofit, and private sectors. The program differs from public policy programs primarily in its focus on spatial issues including but not limited to building form and land use. Students are required to meet the admission requirements of both programs. Admission is allowed only for the fall term. Prospective students should consult the admissions staffs of the MBA program and the School of Planning, Public Policy and Management. For more information, visit the website.

MBA/Graduate Certificate in Arts Management or Nonprofit Management

Students interested in both business and the arts should consider furthering their careers with a master of business administration degree and a concurrent certificate in arts management or nonprofit management. The certificates in arts management and nonprofit management are based on the underlying belief that professional arts and nonprofit managers must be familiar with the social, cultural, and ethical contexts of the arts in general—and the business context if combined with an MBA. Students are required to meet the admission requirements for both programs. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis in fall, winter and spring terms. Prospective students should consult the admissions staffs of the MBA program and the School of Planning, Public Policy and Management. For more information, visit the website.

Administration of the Master’s Degree Programs

The Charles H. Lundquist College of Business seeks diversity in its student population and evaluates applicants on their strengths. The college is interested in applicants’ general intellectual ability, initiative and resourcefulness, creativity, seriousness of purpose, maturity, and capacity for growth. Oral and written communication skills are important. Students should have demonstrated a capacity for quantitative thinking and be able to take an orderly, analytical approach to solving problems and generating alternative solutions. The ability to derive ideas from various sources and see important relationships is essential. Students should be self-motivated, with persistence and drive, and with some understanding of the broad social, political, and economic implications of decisions and actions. For MBA students, work experience is highly desirable.

The college’s master’s degree students describe the programs as rigorous, supportive, interactive, close-knit, warm, and dedicated to a sense of community. Once admitted to a program, students are evaluated as they would be in the workplace: they are given continual feedback on areas in which they are excelling and areas that need improvement.

Typically, the college awards approximately 70 scholarships that range from $500 to $7,500. Scholarships are made possible through generous donations by alumni and other friends of the Lundquist College of Business. Although criteria vary by scholarship, the primary emphasis is academic performance and demonstrated potential for success in a business career. Financial need may be considered, but it is typically a secondary consideration when making awards. Scholarship applications are available winter term. Scholarships are awarded in the spring. The accounting department has additional scholarship opportunities for its majors. Available scholarships and applications can be found on the Lundquist College of Business website.
