<p>Pretty straightfoward:</p>
<li><p>If I don’t place out of Spanish in LSA, but I transfer to Ross, is the spanish requirement still there? Does Ross require proficiency in a foreign language like LSA?</p></li>
<li><p>If I did transfer into Ross, would I be excluded from all LSA classes? Or would I still be able to take classes in LSA as long as I fulfill my Ross requirements?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>My apologies if these questions make me seem a little ignorant. I’m probably not as well versed in the whole thing as I should be. Any help would be cool though.</p>
<p>The language requirement is still there. It's the same language requirement as the LSA I think. You can always take LSA courses because there are still LSA distribution requirements in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, etc. However, you do have to satisfy business requirements, too. Look up the requirements on the website.</p>
<p>I'm quite interested in this as well since I not too fond in taking a second language. Red, do you know for sure that the requirement is still there? Can anyone else confirm the language requirement in the b-school?</p>
<p>There is a language requirement for the B-School, regardless of preferred admission or not. Ross strongly believes in getting a mixed liberal-arts and business degree, so they require all the same distribution req's as LSA in addition to the biz requirements.</p>
<p>If you were getting a BS from LSA, you still take the LSA distribution reqs, the prereq's for whatever your major is, then your concentration courses, then electives. At the B-School, you're basically just doing the same thing only its a BBA and admission to the B-School grants you to the right to major in a business field.....hence, you can still satisfy the LSA distribution reqs and get a BBA.</p>
<p>Also, what classes are required for admission to Ross?</p>
<p>I'd imagine ECON 101 and 102, and probably Calc 115 and 116... anything else? Stats?</p>
<p>The required courses are Econ 101, Math 115 (Calc I) or equivalent, and Eng 125 or equivalent.</p>
<p>Nice, thanks. Last question: What's the deal with the spring/summer courses? Is it just one of those things where if I feel like going to college over the summer I can? Is class selection a lot worse during this semester? Do any normal people even do it? Input would be sweeet.</p>
<p>The Spring and Summer terms are mini terms, each lasting roughly 9 weeks. They are more intensive, but at the same time, they are a little more relaxed. They will teach you the same material they teach you in the Fall and Winter terms, but just at a faster pace. Roughly 40% of Michigan undergrads stay for either the Spring or Summer term and yes, most of them are "normal"! LOL However, the course selection is not as great as it is in the Fall and Winter terms.</p>

Foreign language proficiency (4th term) is definitely still required.</p>
<p>"The transition from the two-year BBA Program to the new three-year BBA Program will allow for...the ability to earn a double major."</p>
<p>Do you know if it is now possible to get a BBA with a double major in, say engineering, without having to get special permission from the b-school? It used to be hard to do with the two-year program.</p>
<p>According to that link, foreign language proficiency is one of four distribution requirements, only three of which a student must complete. </p>
<p>The way I'm reading that, if a student fulfilled the natural science/math requirement, the humanities requirement, and the social sciences requirement, then they could get out of the foreign language proficiency.</p>
