Applying to the Luter School

Students who intend to major in business may apply for admission to the BSBA degree program if and only if they plan by the end of the Summer 2012 semester to:

(1) complete all pre-business courses listed in the relevant undergraduate catalog;

(2) have completed a minimum of 54 credit hours; and,

(3) have passed all pre-business course requirements with a minimum grade of C.

Students who meet these criteria and have a current cumulative GPA of at least a 3.0 will be accepted for upper-level coursework in the Luter School beginning the following semester, conditional on the successful completion of (1), (2), and (3). Students who do not currently meet the stated requirements may apply, but such situations will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Students in this category will receive either a deferred acceptance letter or be denied admission. Students who receive a deferred acceptance will be wait-listed and their actual enrollment status will not be known until the end of the semester, once grades are processed. Students who are denied admission will not be allowed to enroll in the BSBA program and are encouraged to consider enrolling in the business minor. Finally, students who are not accepted into the major can reapply once at a later date. However, if the second application is not successful, they may not re-apply for a business major, but may enroll in the business minor.
