Once admitted into the program a member has to meet requirements for academic and each co-curricular area. Some of the activities will be met over the span of one’s college career, while others will be semester and yearly requirements. The chart below will help to better explain the different areas and requirements.
How do you become a part of the BLP?
The Business Leaders Advisory Committee will review applications and select candidates to interview with members of the committee. Applicants will be notified by February 15th of admittance into the program.
**Minimum GPA for application into the program is a 3.2 and must be maintained throughout. If one’s GPA fell below the 3.2 requirements he would be placed on probation for one semester, if at that time it was still below the 3.2 he would be removed from the program**
