ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú

Students must have 30 graded credit hours completed at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University. Questions can be directed to FSBStudentServices@miamioh.edu.

Additional Notes:

• MTH 025 and other developmental courses (000-099 courses) do not apply to the 30 graded hours required for admission as they are not creditable toward a degree.

The qualifying GPA for FSB admission may be different from your overall GPA. The specific GPA referenced for FSB admission can be seen on a University Studies DAR. If you are not a University Studies student, you will need to consult with an Academic Advisor to run a "What-If" DAR to access this GPA. When in doubt, consult with an academic advisor.

Fall 2023 or Later

Spring 2023 or Earlier

If taken at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University, ECO 201, and MTH 141 or MTH 151 must be completed in a graded status.

Additional Notes:

• Summer courses should be completed no later than August 1 to ensure a timely transfer. Once you meet all of the admission requirements for FSB, and any transfer work is posted to your academic record, you are welcome to apply online. Visit the Transfer Credit page to learn more about transfer courses.

Yes! It is still possible to complete your degree in 4 years if you are admitted to FSB after your first year. Below is a potential degree plan for students wanting to be admitted to FSB after their first year. This plan should NOT be used as a substitute for academic advising, this should be a guide to look over before you meet with an academic advisor to discuss further. 

First-Year

Students do not need to be in Exploratory Studies in order to be admitted to business. The Exploratory Studies Degree Audit Report (DAR) has a section that shows a student’s qualifying GPA for FSB Admission, making it easier for the student to determine which classes are included in ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Plan and Business GPA used for FSB Admission; however, students from any major are welcome to apply once they meet the Admission requirements.

There is no need to change your major at this time. Once you meet the admission requirements, you will fill out the application form online. Your major will be changed to business upon admission.

Even if the requirements for admission change, you will follow the admission requirements that were in place when you entered the university. We will admit all students who meet the admission requirements.

Non-business students may access the Diversity courses, ECO 201, ECO 202, MTH 151, and STA 261.

• The Business Core requires a . Most diversity courses are non-business and thus open to non-business students. 
• ECO 201 and 202 are required courses within the Business Core, and either course will meet the GMP IIC Social Science requirement.
• The Math Department requires an ACT Math score of 26+ or SAT Math score of 610+ to take MTH 151. See the Math Department's placement recommendation guide.
• STA 261 is a general statistics course. If taken prior to admission, STA 261 and ISA 225 will meet the Business Statistics requirement. 

Typically, the departments will have seats available in ACC 221, the FYIC (BUS 101, BUS 102, ESP 103 and BUS 104), CSE 148, and ISA/STA 125 for students who are admitted to business at the end of fall and spring terms. For students admitted at the end of summer terms, course access may be more limited, but can include some business courses. Additional information about accessing these courses will be shared upon admission.

Exceptions to this requirement are extremely rare. Any exceptions to this policy will be dependent on remaining capacity in the Farmer School and will be evaluated individually based on significant and verified extenuating circumstances. Students seeking an exception will be expected to engage in a petition process and final decisions will be made by the Dean's office. Questions regarding this process should be directed to the Assistant Dean and Director of Divisional Advising.

Students may enroll in a maximum of two Farmer School of Business minors. Some minors are available to students on a first-come, first-served basis while others have entry restrictions or requirements. Therefore, to increase the likelihood of gaining entry into a FSB minor, interested students should contact the department offering the minor as early as possible in their academic careers. Completion of a FSB minor may require taking coursework during summer and winter terms and/or online.
