Admission Requirements

Criteria For Admission - Students who wish to transfer to the College of Business from another degree program at UCCS may submit an application in the Students Success Center upon completion of at least 15 semester hours of graded work. Students must have earned a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. Students with a cumulative GPA between 2.0 and 2.5 will require review by the Business Advisor to be considered for admission.

Students are encouraged to complete the freshman English and at least one required math course as early as possible.

Residency Requirement - Interested students should transfer as early as possible to be sure they are able to take a minimum 30 hours of business course work after they are admitted (residency requirement). Students should take 18 hours in one Area of Emphasis, BUAD 400 & BUAD 450 after admission to the College of Business. 

Catalog - A student's business program/catalog year is the one in effect at the time the student is admitted to UCCS College of Business (BUPR) or to LAS (PRBU). Transfer students from Colorado Community Colleges may follow the graduation requirements in effect during the academic year the student began their study at the community college if they complete the AA Business (restrictions apply, please see UCCS Student Success Center).  All others are evaluated on a case by case basis
