I'm just wondering what are the academic requirements for a college with a business major in mind? In a format of :
English : 4 Years
Math : 4 Years
Science : 3 Years
Social Science : 2 Years
Electives : 5 Years
Foreign Lanauge : 2 Years

I'm pretty sure it is 3 years. Anyone knows for sure?



None.

Take as many classes as you can and don't worry about it? It varies by college, and I'm sure each has its minimum entry requirements listed on their website.

Well it's not for me. I have a friend that wants to drop the second semester of math and wants to major in business adminstration. I need to know if the colleges also checks the final transcript when the school ends? If not how do they verify that you completed another full unit of math?

Well, if he doesn't fulfill the school-specific requirements (~40 class/half-year or so), he doesn't graduate, and the college doesn't accept him.

My school requires 3 units of math. Business is a math major right? So what is it exactly? 4 years?

Yes, they do.

Oh okay. So when do they usually accept people? During the summer or spring semester? Because if it is during the spring semester, I don't understand how it would affect the acceptance into the college.

I'm pretty sure my math team captains were accepted to college this fall - December, if I recall. I think not graduating overrides the acceptance.

It's not about graduating because only 3 years is required and 4 years of mathematics is required for some colleges. I'm wondering on how the college looking at the final transcript affects acceptance.

Colleges accept you whenever they feel like it, usually in December for Early Action/Early Decision, and in March for regular applications (some colleges accept year-round applications with no deadline).

When you get your acceptance letter, it usually contains a clause such as "provided you maintain your current academic standards", i.e. they withhold the right to reverse your decision if you final semester of high school isn't up to scratch.

Okay, that answered exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

I'd also like to point out that this happens quite often. When I graduated, many people who after getting their acceptance letters from their dream schools, slacked off real bad and as soon as summer came along, the schools notified them saying that they did too poorly their last semester and thus, rejected them. But those poor unfortunate souls, who were getting A's and B's in their classes, ended up with D's and some failing classes (but not to which it wont allow them to graduate)

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
