Choose a course that interests you as your first class.
If you take a course that interests you, you are more likely to complete it successfully. A successful experience may motivate you to enroll in and finish other courses, which will move you closer to your ultimate goal: a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
Consider BSAD 1300 Global Business, BSAD 2630 Introduction to Marketing, and BSAD 2330 Leadership and Management as starting courses.
Recommended starting courses will vary depending on the number of credits you transfer and courses you are challenging through our credit for prior life and work experience (portfolio) course. If you think you might be able to earn credit for these courses through the portfolio process, avoid enrolling in them.
Realize that accounting courses require you to solve problems on a regular basis to be successful.
You will need to allow sufficient time to do this. Let your instructors know right away if you are having any difficulty at all in these courses. They are very willing to help you.
Consider taking ECON 2130 Principles of Macroeconomics as a starting course if you like math and find it easy to interpret charts and graphs.
If you find math, charts, and graphs to be difficult, do not take math, economics, or accounting as your first course.
Take COSC 1830 Microcomputer Applications before enrolling in ECON 2410 Interpretation of Business and Economic Data (our statistics course with business applications).
Take ECON 2410 Interpretation of Business and Economic data before BSAD 3620 Financial Management.
Take ACCT 2010 Financial Accounting, ACCT 2020 Management Accounting, and ACCT 3000 Accounting Issues for Managers sequentially.
Don't wait too long to begin the accounting sequence.
Verify the transfer of courses you plan to take through other institutions with your advisor or the Distance Learning Center staff before registering.
Contact your academic advisor about one month before you complete the last course on your contract enrollment plan if you are taking print-based courses.
This will avoid a time delay in your studies while your new contract enrollment plan is processed.
Don't wait until your last 30 credits to begin taking courses at a distance from other universities and transferring them to UW-Platteville.
Twenty-three of the last 32 credits must be taken from UW-Platteville. You may earn these credits at a distance.
