If a student has taken courses on other campuses and then transfers to Loras the Dean of the School of Business or their designee may make a determination of those transfer credits.

Since students who are double majoring within the School of Business will not be taking L.BUS 490 more than once, they need to complete an additional upper level course in either major to replace the second seminar course when applicable.
