Pre-Business Undergraduate Admission Information

Students who seek a degree in the school's programs are required to complete a defined group of pre-business courses during their first and second years.  Students may apply for admission to the School of Business-Camden after completion of 45 college credits.   Until the application is filed and approved, a student is classified as a pre-business major.  Acceptance to the School of Business-Camden is competitive.   Admission is generally based on a 3.0 GPA for all courses and at least a grade of C in each of the 11 pre-business requirements.

However, the applicant should check with the Office of Student Affairs for the standard grade-point average for the term of application.  The standard is set by the faculty and may change each term.  The student's admission process is governed by the standard that existed at the time of acceptance.  It is the student's responsibility to keep informed of changes in the standard by contacting the Office of Student Affairs.   Also, students should refer to the School of Business-Camden Student Advising Handbook for more information concerning admission into the School.  Courses required for admission to the School of Business-Camden are:

Students admitted into the School of Business-Camden are expected to have a working knowledge of spreadsheets, databases, and word processing.  These software packages will be utilized in the School's courses, but will not be taught in those courses.

Students are assumed to have gained proficiency in these software packages prior to taking advanced business courses.  For additional information, refer to the student handbook.

Although it is possible for a student to complete the major requirements through either daytime or evening attendance, the School of Business-Camden does not guarantee that every course will be offered every term.  Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Student Affairs to ensure that the sequencing of their course selection is proper.
