How to Apply for a Business Major
Admissions Policy to Majors in the College of Business
Lower Division or Pre-business Students
Because the University does not guarantee acceptance to majors in the College of Business, students who plan to pursue a business degree are accepted to the college as preliminary business students, also known as lower-division or Pre-business students.
Typically freshmen and sophomore, lower-division students are restricted in the business courses they may register for and cannot declare a major within the College of Business until they apply and are accepted as upper-division students.
Restricted Access to Upper-Division College of Business Courses
Most students apply for upper-division status during the end of their sophomore year. Students seeking to declare and complete a major as part of the College of Business must meet the following requirements to qualify (except for the Health Administration major, which has different requirements):
1. Hold a minimum 2.5 FAU-GPA
2. Complete the following Pre-business Foundation coursework (3 credit hours each) with a minimum grade of "C":
ACG 2021 Financial Accounting
ACG 2071 Managerial Accounting
ECO 2013 Macroeconomics
ECO 2023 Microeconomics
MAC 2233 Methods of Calculus
STA 2023 Introductory Statistics
ISM 2000 Information Systems Fundamentals (similar to CGS1100 or CGS1570)
3. Complete a 2-year foreign language program in high school, or the equivalent proficiency at the university level or show proof of native proficiency.
4. Earn a minimum of 60 semester credit hours
Students meeting these upper-division criteria may apply to declare a College of Business major using the Change of Major form (form#7).
