Advising Notes

We recommend students pursue and earn an Associate in Business- DTA/MRP. However, any WA state DTA (Direct Transfer Agreement) degree will satisfy CWU General Education requirements.
Students need to earn a 2.0 minimum in ACCT& 201 and ACCT& 202, and a 1.7 minimum grade for BUS& 201, ECON& 201, 202, and MATH& 146.
Major requirements may change over time; students will be expected to meet the catalog requirements in place the quarter they begin at CWU.
