Shaping Leaders, Driving Results

Junior Transfers for Business Majors & Minors

Transfer students first must be admitted to UNC Undergraduate Admissions prior to applying to the Undergraduate Business major or minor. Qualifications, prerequisites and deadlines for transfer students are the same as those for students who entered UNC their first year. 

We strongly encourage transfer applicants to complete the majority of prerequisites before applying to the major or minor as preference will be given to applicants who do so. In addition to transferring prerequisites, applicants may complete prerequisites during UNC summer sessions.
