Undergraduate Admissions

All students must complete the seven prerequisite courses listed in the chart below.

• Students who were admitted to the major as freshmen must meet the standards below before entering the junior year and do not need to complete an additional application unless applying to change from Business Administration to Accounting or vice versa. To apply to change majors, please visit the Undergraduate Academic Programs Office in 204 Alfiero Center in person.
• Current UB students, including students who entered UB as transfer students, who are not yet approved majors in the School of Management and are applying for junior admission may apply according to the application deadlines and standards below.
• New transfer students who have completed all prerequisites for the major at the time of entry to UB will automatically be considered for admission and do not need to file a separate application.

For admission to the accounting major and for access to registration in restricted courses, students MUST meet the minimum criteria in the chart below. All students applying to the business administration major who meet the preferred admission standards below will be guaranteed admission to the major and admission consideration on a space available basis will be given to business administration applicants who are below the preferred standards but still in good academic standing.

Important note: High school students interested in the accounting or business administration major are encouraged to apply early for admission to the University at Buffalo. Due to the quantitative nature of these majors it is recommended students complete pre-calculus and be calculus-ready prior to enrollment to UB.

• Admission requirements and policies are set by the School of Management faculty and are subject to change.
• If a prerequisite course for the major is repeated, the grade that is counted is the grade earned the second time, even if the grade is lower than the grade earned the first time.  Students may not take a course for a third time. 
• Applications will be accepted after the standard March, June or October deadlines, but students should make every effort to apply on time based on the deadlines. It is to the student's advantage to be on track and apply on schedule according to the application deadlines.
