Apply to the Wake Forest University Schools of Business

Whether you choose to major in business and enterprise management, accountancy, finance or business mathematics, you are going to learn as much about yourself and society as you are about business.

You will apply to the Schools of Business in the spring of your sophomore year. Admission is competitive, so keep your grades up.

Schools of Business Requirements

Minimum requirements for admission to the Wake Forest University Schools of Business are:

• Completion of 49 hours with an overall grade point average of 2.7
• Completion of ECN 150, MTH 111 or 112 (MTH 112 or the equivalent for the mathematical business major), ACC 111 (with a minimum of C in each course) and one additional business course (ACC 221, BEM 201, 221, 251, 261, or FIN 231).

Students who have not met fully the above requirements may request a one-semester provisional acceptance.

How to Apply

1. Attend the Schools of Business Sophomore Orientation. Every year we offer a special program--usually in January--to help students learn more about undergraduate business majors. During Sophomore Orientation, you will receive a brief overview of majors, special programs and international opportunities and will attend two information sessions on the majors that interest you. We'll also give you instructions on accessing the online application.
2. Submit an online application. Of course we consider your overall GPA, but we also look at your grades in the prerequisite courses and your application essay.
3. Wait for your email. You will be notified by email of your application status.
