Prospective Undergraduates

The School of Management admits new incoming first-years directly to the Accounting, Business Administration, or Information Technology and Management majors. For direct admission, prospective first-years are required to select Accounting, Business Administration, or Information Technology and Management on the University at Buffalo application.

In the first two years, you will complete the UB Curriculum and prerequisite courses for your major. As a first-year student, you must maintain the minimum standard required to advance to your major's upper-division curriculum. The main criterion for advancement is your academic performance in your first and second-year courses. We don't require an additional application unless you're applying to change to a different undergraduate major within the School of Management.

Important note: We encourage high school students interested in the Accounting, Business Administration, or Information Technology and Management majors to apply early for admission to UB. Because of the quantitative nature of these majors, we recommend you complete precalculus and be calculus-ready before enrolling at UB.

If you're interested in attending UB, the first step is to gain admission to the university. After accepting admission to UB and submitting a deposit, new incoming transfer students who select business administration, accounting, or information technology and management will need to complete an Orientation Data Form before being reviewed for their intended major in the School of Management. You can find our curriculum information in the Undergraduate Catalog.

All students must meet the minimum standards before being accepted:

**School of Management courses are quantitative in nature and require a strong mathematics background. Students are required to complete MTH 131 or a calculus equivalent. Starting at a lower Trigonometry, Algebra or Pre-calculus level can delay starting your upper division requirements.

If you think you have transfer courses that satisfy UB requirements you can check your transfer courses through the TAURUS - Course Equivalency Guide. If a course that you took is not listed and would like it to be reviewed for a specific course, you can send a PDF of the syllabus to mgt-undergrad@buffalo.edu to have the completed course reviewed for articulation to a specific course at UB.

Important note: To be eligible for the accounting, business administration, or information technology and management majors in the School of Management, you must meet the minimum overall transfer GPA and major GPA when entering UB (see above). If your overall transfer GPA/major GPA is below the minimum requirement, you will need to select an alternative major for which you would qualify. You may explore the minor in management to complement to your non-management major.
