²ÝÁñÉçÇø

First-year students in CLAS, Engineering, and Nursing are eligible to apply to transfer to the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø School of Business in the spring of their first year. Applications will open on December 1 and close on March 1. Final decisions are not made until after spring grades are posted in May.  

Per university policy, if a student has transferred into ²ÝÁñÉçÇø from another institution, the student may not apply as an internal transfer to VSB.

Program requirements: students seeking admission to VSB should review both the core requirements of the business school as well as the requirements of majors in the business school. 

Application Requirements

Transferring to VSB is highly competitive. Competitive applicants interested in transferring to VSB should have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.9 and have taken at least one class in a quantitative course listed below with a grade of at least A- at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø (not including AP credits). Less than 25% of applicants were admitted to VSB last year.  Students not meeting this academic profile are strongly encouraged to consider the Summer Business Institute (SBI) or Academic-Year Business Minor.

Recommended Quantitative Courses list:

• ECO1001 Intro to Microeconomics 
• ECO1002 Intro to Microeconomics (or higher-level economics course) 
• MAT1312 Biocalculus 
• MAT1320 Calc I for Liberal Arts 
• MAT1500 Calculus I (or higher-level mathematics course) 
• STAT1230 Intro Statistics I 
• STAT1235 Intro Statistics II 
• STAT1313 Statistics for Life Sciences 
• STAT1430 Business Statistics (or higher-level statistics course) 

Applicants will be notified after spring grades have been posted if they have been accepted into the program. At that time, accepted applicants will be provided with instructions for the next steps and course registration information.

Apply

Applications will open on December 1 and close on March 1. To access the application link, applicants must first complete a series of online information sessions through a Blackboard module. Only current ²ÝÁñÉçÇø students may access the Blackboard module. Enrollment in the Blackboard module will take 1 - 3 business days after the request, and you will receive an email notification when you have been enrolled.
