If allowed to continue, those students most likely will be in violation of the 25% established by AACSB, the School of Business accrediting body.
In addition, COM 3290 and COM 3800 will have "admission to the School of Business or majoring in math" as the prerequisites for the courses. Finally, the prerequisite for AIS 4700 will be "AIS 3200, Senior standing, and admission to School of Business."
