General Transfer Opportunities
There are two avenues for prospective transfer students to seek admission to the School of Business at the University of Connecticut. If you are transferring from the Connecticut State Community College, please visit this page.

Direct Admission as a Transfer Student
Fulfill specific prerequisites at your prior institution to be eligible for consideration for direct transfer admission to Business. Direct admission requires all eight of Business critical courses completed prior to transfer.

Students who have been dismissed for any reason — academic, disciplinary, or otherwise — must satisfactorily complete one year of challenging, full-time academic course work at another institution before applying to UConn.
Students with less than one year of college are evaluated on the basis of high school and college work (high school GPA and class rank, SAT or ACT scores, quality of academic courses, and college performance to date).
