Comments
Students who have not attended any school beyond high school and have a declared major in the Huntsman School of Business are expected to enroll in BUS 1000 during their first year at USU.
*The course is intended to acculturate students to college life, and is therefore not relevant for internal or external transfer students. Thus, transfer students are not expected to enroll in BUS 1000. BUS 1000 is an in-person course on the Logan campus for now, so those at statewide campuses or online are not able to enroll, and thus not expected to enroll.
