Bachelor of Arts
Graduate and professional schools typically require a four-year B.A. or B.S. for admission. The curriculum of a traditional B.A. degree is centered on providing a well-rounded, liberal arts education. Students pursuing a BA are not required to have an Associate's Degree.
Any student seeking a Baccalaureate degree must complete a minimum of 36 credit hours of general education and 43 credit hours of core courses. Students in the baccalaureate degree programs are required to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours in the upper division courses, i.e., 300 and 400 level courses before they can graduate.
Federal regulations require institutions participating in student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to report certain information about students who enrolled in Title IV eligible education programs.
A degree in Business should open the door to many career options. The desire of the Department of Business is to provide an education in business of the highest possible quality. In the first two years of studying Business at NTU, students are required to take common set of courses to prepare them for more specialized courses in the third and fourth years. Many of these initial courses are shared with other departments at the university, allowing students to appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of business. Students would be encouraged to develop a broad knowledge of business. Knowledge in these specialized subjects is intended to lay the groundwork for entry into a range of much needed professions in the Native American Communities such as the Navajo Nation, entrepreneurship, hospitals, Navajo Housing Authority, Navajo Tribal Utility Association, etc.
A student needs to complete the core Business and general education courses within the first two years of study with a grade point average of 2.50 or better before taking the upper level core courses (300 and 400-level courses). However, to complete the program within four years, a credit load of 15-17 per semester is recommended. Also, attending summer sessions can reduce this time.
This 4 year-degree degree program is to produce graduates for employment as cultural teachers/instructors/professors, cultural interpreters, cultural social workers, health care workers, community service workers, community liaisons, health educators, various leadership roles and other relevant occupations.
