Admission to the Business Administration Major

Business students enter the University of Montana as majors in Business Administration. Students work to complete the following requirements: 9 primary lower cores with a C- or better in each course, and earn 60 cumulative credits with at least a 2.0 GPA (both overall and within their primary lower core courses). Students are also encouraged during this time to finish their secondary lower core courses. During the semester in which students will complete the above underlined requirements, they complete a Major Application through the Business Student Success Center's Moodle page for admission to a major in Accounting, Finance, Business Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing, or International Business (in combination with one other business major).
