College of Management and Business—Undergraduate

University General Education Requirements

All undergraduate students must complete the General Education Core Requirements. We encourage students to complete their general education requirements before entering an undergraduate program.

Admission Requirements

Requirements for admission to CMB are the same as those for admission to National Louis University.

Specific programs, however, have additional requirements. For all undergraduate programs, applicants must have:

  • COMPASS scores of at least 44 on the pre-algebra level of the mathematics examination and at least 65 on the writing skills examination
  • A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better on a 4.0 scale on all previous coursework

Please see specific programs for additional admission requirements.

Students may not enroll in the first term of a program until they meet program eligibility requirements or qualify for enrollment as an admissions pending student.

Credit Transfer Policy

The CMB degree-completion programs require that certain courses be taken at NLU. These courses are designed specifically for CMB’s adult learners and do not duplicate transfer courses that may have similar titles but were designed for traditional undergraduate students.

Academic Standards

Students enrolled in CMB undergraduate programs will be monitored continuously to ensure compliance with program academic standards, as outlined in the Policies section of this catalog. To remain in good academic standing and complete the requirements for the programs, students must also adhere to the following additional academic standards:

  • Students who miss 50% of class meetings in one course (unless special arrangements were made beforehand with the instructor) will be given an “F” in that course and will be required to retake the course
  • Students who miss three consecutive class meetings in a term will be dropped at the end of the term (or the last day of attendance where state or federal law supersedes) and must apply for readmission if they wish to complete the program
  • Any student who is carrying two outstanding “I” grades or more in the program (from any number of terms) will be dropped from the program at the end of the term in which a third “I” is received. A student must apply for readmission to the program upon completion of at least one of the “I” graded courses.
