General Information

This is a limited-enrollment program requiring departmental admissions approval. Please see the college advisement center for information regarding requirements for admission to this major.

Students are encouraged to apply to the Marriott School of Management during their sophomore year, as soon as they have completed the pre-management core courses.

Because of controlled enrollments in management programs, the competition for acceptance is keen. Those choosing to enter these majors should decide early, plan their schedules carefully, be aware of all the requirements, and stay informed about any changes by checking often with the Marriott School of Management Advisement Center.

Students interested in management as a major must make application for the management major. A separate application to the School of Accountancy, Finance Department, or Information Systems Department is necessary for those seeking an accounting, finance, or information systems major. Students not accepted into the program should work closely with advisement personnel to select a new major outside the Marriott School.

Requirements for application are:

  1. Cumulative GPA must be at least 3.0 in the pre-management courses, with no more than one repeat for each class. No grade lower than a C– will be acceptable.

    Not every student meeting the minimum requirements is guaranteed acceptance into the undergraduate program.


  2. Demonstrate a knowledge of computer skills, including spreadsheet analysis.

    Students may demonstrate spreadsheet skills with either a minimum grade of B in an equivalent transfer course or a P grade in I Sys 100 and 102.
