Students must be admitted to the Business Program before enrolling in 300/400 level business courses.
Applications for admission to the Business Program must be submitted before mid-semester during the semester in which the student is
completing the requirements. Normally, application is during the second semester of the sophomore year. Applications are available in
138 Wimberly Hall. Although your application is due before you will have completed these requirements, admission will be contingent
upon successful completion by the end of the semester in which you are applying. If you apply for admission and register for 300-400
CBA level courses, but do not meet the requirements as of the end of the semester, you will have to drop the 300-400 level CBA courses.
