* Business Policy is a capstone requirement of the BSBA degree. This course integrates course content across functional areas of business and serves to validate knowledge learned in all core and business elective courses.

Business Policy must be completed five or less years from the date of application to the College. If the course is taken past your five year application date, you will be required to complete this requirement again through Thomas Edison State College's course in Business Policy. You may also complete a Demonstration of Currency conference, which is a conference between a mentor and the student to address contemporary developments common to the topics being covered.

** Up to nine credits of the 18 credit Area of Study can be older than ten years from the date of application to the College and still be transferred for credit. Any additional older credits applicable to the Major Area of Study would have to undergo review before being transferred for credit.
