We are excited that you are pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business (B.S.B.) with a major in Money and Banking. You have taken an important step in this process by completing your TSAP Associate degree in Business Administration. We are ready to help you start this leg of your journey. The Purdue Fort Wayne TSAP on-campus program is designed with you, the learner, in mind.

Purdue Fort Wayne’s program is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which provides a voluntary mechanism of quality control. AACSB is the most prestigious business accrediting body in the nation. Only about one-quarter of all business schools in the nation possess this distinction.

All TSAP students are admitted as pre-business students until they have completed the specific pre-business requirements needed for admission to the Bachelor’s degree program.

At the time you are admitted to the B.S.B. program, you will declare your major in Money and Banking.
