Step 3: Apply for full business or accounting major status. After completing the lower division business requirements, students should apply for admission to the Lundquist College of Business as full majors. You can select one of five concentrations or major in general business or accounting.

Pre-business students can gain admission to the full business or accounting major through one of two ways:

Guaranteed Admission: Students who achieve a 3.0 cumulative GPA (including their transfer work) as well as a 3.0 in their lower division core will qualify for guaranteed admission, pending successful completion of the online application (essays, cover letter, resume, transcripts).
Holistic Review: Students who have demonstrated a strong academic record—but do not meet the 3.0 GPA requirements—may also submit an application to compete for admission. This is a competitive selection process and students should be strategic in developing their holistic qualifications. An admissions committee thoroughly reviews applications and considers the student’s academic record, as well as their strengths in the holistic review criteria.
