Question: I am already registered for 9 hours in the Fall. As an undergraduate (completing Bachelors), is that considered full-time?

Full-time enrollment for undergraduate students is 12 semester credit hours. You can add a fourth class (which does not have to be a business class), or you might consider working with our Career Development Center to enroll in a credit-bearing internship. You can learn more about internships for course credit.
