Students in the program complete the standard 130 credit curriculum
for the BS in Accounting or Management degree with the following
modifications and additions:
Additional Writing Emphasis Requirement
The "C" designation indicates a course where writing is
emphasized. These courses are offered across the curriculum. The
PwC Scholars Program requires students to take at least one additional
"C" course beyond the two course SOM writing requirement
and serves to enhance writing ability. This also satisfies the GenEd
requirement in composition (C). - (4 credits)

Additional SOM Requirements
The School of Management requirements that are unique to the PWC
Scholars Program are designed to enhance students' breadth and depth
of knowledge in management and their area of specialization. While
it is not required, it is expected that many of the participants
in the program will have earned college credit prior
to their enrollment at Binghamton. These credits may partially or
fully offset the additional credit requirements. The Scholars students
augment their programs with the following additional requirements:

Major Area Requirement
Each student is expected to complete additional coursework
in management or accounting or a related area outside of the School.
This additional course work can include an additional elective in
the major, a secondary concentration (3 courses), or a minor (usually
6 courses) from outside of the School of Management. Courses taken
for a minor do not necessarily require additional credits as they
may be included in the 65 or more non-management credits normally
completed for the degree. - (4 credits)

Honors Seminars
All PWC Scholars participate in a series of Honors
Seminars. Students enroll in the seminar for each semester they
are in the program. Seminars will involve guest speakers from the
community as well as from the School of Management. Discussion will
focus on current issues in management. Upper classmen serve as seminar
leaders, developing important leadership and organizational skills.

Other Requirements
Participants in the PWC Scholars Program are expected to successfully
complete a minimum of sixteen credit hours per semester. They are
also expected to maintain and graduate with a cumulative GPA of
at least 3.5. If a students cumulative GPA is below 3.5 for two
consecutive semesters, the student cannot continue in the PWC
Program. Since honors course work can also be counted towards the
traditional SOM degrees, discontinuation of participation in the
PWC Program does not normally result in additional course
work requirements or delay graduation.
