Admission Requirements

Pre-Business Status:

All students will begin at Wright State as a pre-business student until they have met the program admission requirements to move to BSB-Business standing. Students will be admitted to BSB-Business status once they meet the following admission requirements:

30 credit hours or more, and
2.5 cumulative GPA or higher (inclusive of all college credit)

BSB-Business Status:

Students must complete the following 2000-level courses to register for upper-level business courses:

The term after the following 7 courses are completed, students can register for 3000-level courses while finishing the remaining 4 lower-level business courses: ACC 2010; EC 2040, 2050; EC 1050 or MTH 2280; ENG 1100; MKT 2500; MS 2040.
The term after all 11 of the 2000-level courses are completed, students can register for 4000-level courses: ACC 2020; ENG 2100; FIN 2210; MS 2050.

Students must meet all course prerequisites to register for any business course.

Admission from University College and other Wright State Colleges:

The Raj Soin College of Business has a two-tier admission process. Students in University College or another Wright State College must meet the following Tier I requirements to be admitted to the College:

Tier I:

2.5 minimum cumulative grade point average

In the semester that the last Tier II requirements are scheduled, students will automatically be transferred from a pre-business to a full-business major status. This allows you to enroll in upper level business courses.
