THE CAPSTONE OPTION FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS

The Capstone Option is available to students who have earned an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree or have the equivalent certification and who have a cumulative 2.0/4.0 GPA on all accredited coursework prior to the completion of the AAS or certification, as calculated by SIU. The Capstone Option reduces the University Core Curriculum requirements from 39 to 30 hours, therefore reducing the time to degree completion. Students who apply for the Capstone Option will work with the College of Business and Analytics Advisement Office for approval and will complete a personal contract for a degree completion plan.

Our Analytics curriculum includes courses in database management, project management, information visualization, ethics and more. The courses are designed to provide you with a well-rounded understanding of business practices as well as big data and artificial intelligence.

A major in Business Analytics requires students to earn a minimum grade of C (a grade of C- is not sufficient) in each of the courses taken to satisfy the requirements for the Business Analytics major*, and students must earn a minimum 2.0 grade point average for those major courses. For Business Analytics majors, Business Analytics courses completed more than seven calendar years prior to the current term must be repeated.
