1. Apply to the University of Wisconsin–Madison at apply.wisconsin.edu or commonapp.org
2. Indicate business or a specific Undergraduate major as your first choice of major to be considered

After you receive your admissions decision

If you are admitted to the Wisconsin School of Business your decision to enroll in the program is due by May 1.

1. Accept and pay the enrollment deposit with UW-Madison.
2. Following submission of the enrollment deposit, you will receive an e-mail from the School of Business to separately accept the offer of direct admission. Submit your acceptance to complete the process. This acceptance does not require a deposit.

Students admitted as Pre-Business

Students who are admitted to UW–Madison, but not the Undergraduate program, have the opportunity to begin the pre-business admissions process and apply again for admission to the Undergraduate program in the spring of their first year on campus.

Approximately half of the Wisconsin Undergraduate Program’s students are admitted through the pre-business process, and there are several events to help you prepare your application.
