Registration

Congratulations if you are graduating in May! If you have accepted a job offer or will be continuing your education, please be sure to report your plans to your advisor and the Center for Career Engagement.

Before you leave, we would love to see you before graduation. Please feel free to schedule a coffee chat or meeting in late April/early May so we can wish you well on your future endeavors!

If you are graduating in May 2025, please schedule an appointment with your academic advisor.

As you’re gearing up for the two remaining semesters at Olin, many of your required classes should be completed by now. If possible, plan to complete any remaining core requirements next semester. You should also be working towards completing courses for your specific majors/ minors. Review your requirements and talk with your advisor to ensure that these can and will be met by your graduation date.

As you’re gearing up for the two remaining semesters at Olin, you’ll complete any remaining core requirements and upper-level non-business distributions, but the focus of your senior year will be on coursework in your major(s).

While the BSBA advising team carefully checks your degree audit to ensure that you meet all necessary requirements for graduation, we expect that you are aware of the remaining requirements. It is possible to adjust your senior year schedule, but you should be thoughtful and intentional about it to ensure you meet all graduation requirements. When in doubt, please consult with your academic advisor.

Accounting Majors:

You should enroll in ACCT 4640 and either ACCT 4660 or ACCT 4670 this fall. You could take all three, but this might depend on your specific career plans.

MACC Students:

If you are admitted to the MACC program, you should discuss your accounting selections with your MACC advisor. If you are thinking about sitting for the CPA examination, you should confer with your MACC advisor to determine the specific requirements needed for this exam. The process for registration for both graduate and undergraduate courses will be sent out shortly to each MSP student.

Entrepreneurship Majors:

You should have completed the core requirements for the major by now, leaving you with the task of completing electives for the major.

Economics and Strategy Majors:

You should have completed MEC 3700 and MEC 4700 by now, leaving you to take MEC 4710 this fall. MEC 4100 will be offered in the spring and MEC 4710 is the prerequisite for this course. If you haven’t taken MEC 4700, then you can take both MEC 4700 and MEC 4710 this fall.

Finance Majors:

If you have not taken FIN 4410 and/or FIN 4480, then you MUST enroll in these classes. FIN 4410 and 4480 are pre-requisites for several of the spring finance electives. If you have taken FIN 4410 and FIN 4480, you should take FIN 4510. If you have completed the finance core coursework, consider taking your finance elective.

Healthcare Management Majors:

To complete this major, you should enroll in MEC 3630 (formerly MEC 320) and MEC 3210 (formerly MEC 321) this fall as neither course will be offered in the spring.  You can select an elective as well.

Marketing Majors:

If you have not taken MKT 3780 yet, consider taking it this fall rather than waiting to take it next spring. Also, consider taking a Group A elective if you have not yet.

Choose your fall marketing electives carefully as electives are typically only offered once a year in fall or spring.

Organization and Strategic Management Majors:

You should be working the specific categories for this major. Work with your advisor to ensure that you will meet the specific requirements for this major.

Operations and Supply Chain Management Majors:

You should enroll in DAT 3015 (formerly DAT 301E) and one or two Group B electives this semester.

Courses that should be complete are MEC 2900, DAT 1200, DAT 1201, MGT 1000, MGT 1500, MGT 2010, and additional core classes by the end of this semester. If any of these classes have not been completed, you should talk with your advisor to work out a schedule for completing your requirements. We recommend you enroll in either two or three business classes this spring. 

Hopefully, you have already declared your major[s] or plan to declare them in your advising meeting. Your junior year course work should include additional coursework in your major, the remaining core classes, and upper-level distribution requirements. Please review your degree audit and consult with your advisor to be sure you’re on track.

If you plan to study abroad in the spring 2026 you should let your academic advisor know. This will aid in course planning for your junior year.

Accounting Majors:

If you are thinking about majoring in Accounting, you should enroll in ACCT 3610: Intermediate Accounting I this fall or next spring. If you have taken ACCT 3610, you will want to consider taking one of your accounting electives.

Entrepreneurship Majors:

To start this major, you should enroll in MGT 421 (Introduction to Entrepreneurship) or MGT 4603 (Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship) this fall. Either course will count towards your first requirement for this major. Additionally, you could enroll in one of the Entrepreneurship electives offered this fall.

Economics and Strategy Majors:

Assuming you have taken MEC 3700, you should enroll in MEC 4700 and/or 4710 this fall. 

Finance Majors:

If you are thinking about majoring in Finance, then you should enroll in FIN 3400 this fall. If you have taken FIN 3400, then consider FIN 4410 or FIN 4480 this fall. All finance majors should also consider taking ACCT 3610: Intermediate Accounting Theory I either this fall or next spring. While it is not specifically listed as part of the major, it is an important course for prospective employers.

Healthcare Management Majors:

Enroll in MEC 3630 (formerly MEC 320) and/or MEC 3210 (formerly MEC 321) this fall.

Marketing Majors:

If you have not taken MKT 3150 (formerly MKT 370), please do so now. If you have taken MKT 3150, consider taking a Marketing elective this fall: either MKT 3780 or a Group A or B marketing course.

Organization and Strategic Management Majors:

Enroll in a course from either Group A or Group B depending on your interest area as all courses in Group C are only offered in the spring.

Supply Chain, Operations, and Technology Majors:

You should plan to complete both SCOT 2200 (formerly DAT 220) and SCOT 3150 (formerly SCOT 356) by the end of your junior year.

If you have taken SCOT 2200, then you should enroll in SCOT 3150 this fall.

If you haven’t taken SCOT 2200 then you should take this course this fall concurrently with SCOT 3150, especially if you are going abroad in spring 2026.

If you are not going abroad, then you could wait to take SCOT 3150 in the spring. You could also consider DAT 3015 (formerly DAT 301E) or one of the Group B requirements offered this fall.
