Nearly half of our Undergraduate students enter the Wisconsin School of Business through the Pre-Business process, usually applying in the spring of their first year for admission into the program beginning the following fall semester.
Applicants must apply prior to earning 86 credits, which includes in-progress, retro, transfer, and pre-enrollment coursework. Prerequisite courses in communications, calculus, economics, and psychology are also required.
Beginning with the March 2022 application, applicants will be able to apply once for admission through the Pre-Business process. We encourage you to review the complete list of Undergraduate Admissions policies.
