Incoming Transfer Student Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements for transfer admissions?
Transfer students with fewer than 24 credit hours are admitted to the Trulaske College of Business if they meet the University admission requirements. The transcripts of students with over 24 credit hours are evaluated to determine if the student will be able to complete requirements to apply to an Upper Level emphasis area by the semester after they have completed 60 credits, and 12 credits in the UM System. The requirements to apply to upper level are: minimum UM GPA 2.6 (3.0 for accountancy), completed or have in progress English 1000, Management 1010, Math 1300, Math 1320, Stat 2500, Economics 1014, Economics 1015, Accounting 2036 and Accounting 2037. Admission to the Upper Level is competitive and based on space available.
How do I register for classes? When?
When your Summer Welcome registration arrives, we will use your academic information to pre-enroll you in three courses for fall. It is important that you be sure your transfer institution has sent your latest transcripts to MU so we can make the best course selections. When you come to Summer Welcome, we will start your registration using those classes. We will be able to make adjustments to those course selections, if needed. With your advisor, you will complete your fall schedule during your appointment at Summer Welcome.
What do we do at Summer/Winter Welcome?
During Summer/Winter Welcome you will be offered a wide variety of orientation activities. Among them are two very important interactions with the Trulaske College of Business. Early in the day you will attend Divisional Orientation, where you will get an overview of the College of Business and all it offers. You will also hear information about academic expectations and choosing classes. At Orientation you will be given materials important to helping you prepare for your appointment with an academic advisor, which will occur later in the day. Attending Summer/Winter Welcome is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT in building your academic foundation at the university and in the Trulaske College of Business!
What kinds of classes will I be taking?
The answer to this question greatly depends on how many hours you are transferring to MU and what types of courses you have already taken. During your first year at MU, if you haven't already had them, you will be taking General Education classes, such as English, Science, History and Humanities along with Upper Level Admission Requirements such as Math, Statistics and Economics. Your exact classes will be determined by your interests, previous credit, and course availability. The link below can show you an example of course sequences for all four years.
Am I eligible for any College of Business scholarships?
All business students may apply for scholarships. Individual scholarships have various criteria: academic performance, financial need, geographic origins, activities/leadership, etc. To qualify for need-based scholarships, you must complete the FAFSA each year.
