GC University Lahore B.Sc. Hons Applied Management

BSHons Admission

Overview

MSD has designed this new programme considering our changing academic environment. The programme builds upon the old 2-yr Bachelors Degree (BA, BSc, B.Com) and would enable the students to earn a four year Honours Degree after studying for another two years at the Management Studies Department. The programme is structured after reviewing undergraduate programmes at internationally renowned schools.

In terms of scope, these graduates would compete for the top public & private sector placements as well as be eligible to apply for a Master’s degree programme anywhere abroad. The programme would also give us room to upgrade our existing MBA to a post-experience programme and to make it internationally acceptable in due course.

Programme Structure

In order to earn the Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Applied Management, the students are required to complete a minimum of 64 credit hours with a cumulative grade point average of 2.3. This would be in addition to their existing 2-yr degree which will be accepted for credit transfer and the students will have the necessary credits in the range of 126 – 132 to qualify for a 4 year Honours Degree.

• The first semester of this programme consists of four compulsory courses of 4 credit hours and one of 2 credit hours each offering a total of 18 credit hours.
