Application Information

Enrolling at Baylor

To be admitted to the Hankamer School of Business, you must first be admitted to Baylor University. Contact Undergraduate Admissions for more information.

Transferring to Baylor

Transfer students desiring to enter Baylor as a Pre-Business student must have a minimum 3.0 GPA from their previous institution(s). Transfer students interested in Baylor can complete the Transfer Interest Form.

Change of Major

Current Baylor students considering changing their major to Pre-Business should review the Requesting to Change to the Pre-Business Major for Current Baylor Students webpage.

First-Year Requirements for the BBA

The student desiring a BBA degree is officially enrolled as a Pre-business student. In order to continue as a Pre-business major beyond the first year, a student must complete a minimum of 24 credit hours at Baylor; maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA; and complete BUS 1101, BUS 1201, BUS 1350, ENG 1310, MTH 1308/1320 (if needed), and MTH 1309/1321 with a minimum grade of "C" in each course. If these requirements are not met, the student must change degree programs.

Course Repetition

A student who has declared or desires to declare Pre-business may repeat only once no more than two of: ENG 1310, MTH 1308 or 1320, MTH 1309 or 1321, and the lower core business courses. Any student not meeting this requirement may no longer follow the BBA degree. Students failing any of these courses due to the attendance policy may be required to change degree programs.

Declaring Your Major

To declare a business major, you must formally apply for admission to the business school. Unless you are in the Baylor Business Fellows or Hankamer Scholars program, you will likely meet the requirements for admission at the conclusion of your sophomore year.
