BAM Program


Welcome to the Bachelor of Arts in Management, also known as BAM, at USF’s School of Management!


I’m here to help you select  the courses for your first semester.


If you are registering in the fall, the first course you will take is BAM 300 - Management Research and Writing, along with two Management Principles courses.  If you are registering in the spring, the first course you will take is BAM 301 - Ethics and Society, along with two Management Principles courses.


You must successfully complete BUS 300 with a grade of D- or higher.


Students who do not achieve this minimum grade requirement must repeat the course and may be placed on academic probation.


If you drop below a 2.0 GPA in any semester, or earn less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA overall, you will be placed on academic probation.


BAM students must be enrolled in at least 6-8 credits each fall, spring, and summer term.


Once you have registered for your classes, your schedule should look like this… (sample schedule displayed)
BAM 300 - Management Research and Writing
BAM 303 - Management Principles: Data Analytics
BAM 304 - Management Principles: Organizational Behavior


Since you have transferred in coursework from other institutions, it is important that you review your degree evaluation to determine which courses you still need to complete.


Spend some time navigating both myUSF and the schedule of classes to familiarize yourself with the website and the tools available to you.


Please note that as a BAM student, you are restricted to courses offered only in your major within the School of Management.


Also, it is important that you contact CASA (the Center for Academic Student Achievement) during your first semester at USF to discuss what University Core and general elective requirements you may have remaining in addition to your major courses.


CASA is a resource for degree progress and degree completion issues, as well as your contact for referrals to other departments within the University that may assist your academic and administrative needs.


At the end of this tutorial, you will be asked to complete a brief quiz.


Once you have completed the quiz, you will be eligible to sign up for classes when registration opens.


If you come across any problems, please contact us (bamadvising@usfca.edu).


We look forward to meeting you during our Orientation.
