Bachelor of Science in Business

Bachelor of Science in Business

At the Lawrence campus, the KU School of Business offers a Bachelor of Science in Business degree, with eight unique major options: Accounting, Business Administration, Business Analytics, Finance, Information Systems, Management & Leadership, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management. Please note, the Bachelor of Science in Business program is offered in a traditional classroom format, with few options for evening/online courses.
 

This transfer guide provides important information and a sample four-semester plan for a student starting at Allen Community College and transferring to KU for the remaining coursework. However, each student’s background and goals are unique.  Thus we recommend ongoing communication with an advisor in the KU School of Business. See contact information at the bottom of this page.

School of Business Admission Requirements
(effective Spring 2021 and later)

1. Step One: Admission to the University of Kansas

All incoming students must first gain admission to the University of Kansas. Admission applications to the University of Kansas may be completed online at admissions.ku.edu. Gaining admission to the University of Kansas requires the submission of official college transcripts from all previously attended colleges/universities. Please note that indicating “Business Major” on your application to KU does not grant you entry to the KU School of Business. For scholarship consideration, we encourage you to apply to KU by May 1st for transferring for the fall/summer semester and by December 1st for the spring semester. 

2. Step Two: Admission to the KU School of Business

Transfer students are eligible to apply as soon as they have completed the minimum requirements (see below). In the instance that one or more of the pre-admission requirements has not been satisfied before transferring to KU, that student will be considered a Pre-Business student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences until they meet the minimum requirements.

Minimum Requirements to Apply to KU School of Business

Transfer students are eligible to apply after the following has been completed:

1. Sophomore Standing (30 credit hours)
2. Completion of three foundation courses (must be taken for a grade):
   • ACCT 200 – Financial Accounting
   • ECON 142 – Principles of Microeconomics
   • BSAN 202 – Statistics
3. Earned at least a 2.5 GPA in both overall GPA (all college coursework) and in KU overall GPA (courses taken at KU only)
4. Earned at least a 2.5 GPA in both their overall professional GPA (all business and economics courses taken), and KU professional GPA (business and economics courses taken at KU only).

Additional Notes for Transfer Students:

• Transfer credits with earned grades of D+ and below will not satisfy graduation requirements, but are included in all GPA calculations. KU will honor the grade replacement policy of the institution issuing the transcript.

A bachelor’s degree must include 120 completed credit hours.  A student may apply a maximum of 64 credit hours of community college coursework to a KU degree.  Students with more than 64 credit hours of community college coursework cannot apply the additional hours toward the 120 hour requirement.

A Bachelor Degree requires 45-upper level hours. Transfer courses may be matched to a course of opposite level at KU, but the level of credit is defined by the originating institution. (All community college courses are lower level.)

It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to check for updates to all transfer information. This transfer program is provided as a service and is updated annually. Degree requirements are subject to change.
