Admission Requirements for the Pre-Major Program
Entering freshmen: Any students who meet Kent State’s admission standards and are admitted to Kent State as entering freshmen (i.e., with no semester credit hours toward a degree) are admitted to a pre-major program (e.g., pre-accounting, pre-business management, pre-computer information systems, pre-economics, pre-entrepreneurship, pre-finance, pre-managerial marketing, pre-marketing, pre-operations management and pre-business).
Kent State transfers: All other students (i.e., those who have minimum 1 semester credit hour toward a degree) may apply at any time for admission as a pre-major. Students with a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or better at the time the decision is made will be admitted to a pre-major. Students with a cumulative GPA below 2.50 will NOT be admitted to the pre-major. Note: The cumulative GPA will reflect all graded coursework at Kent State.
Entering transfers From other institutions: First-semester transfers must have a 2.50 cumulative GPA for admission to the College of Business. The cumulative GPA reflects work at all institutions attended.
