Welcome New Huskies!
We are excited to meet newly admitted Business students at our in-person orientation programs this summer.
The School of Business orientation program is a dynamic, in-depth introduction to what it means to be a student in UConn’s School of Business. A student will leave their School of Business orientation experience feeling confident about their academic requirements, the importance of experiential involvement and the opportunities that exist for each student, and most importantly, students will be excited and motivated to create a unique, individual experience which will lead to a successful career in Business!

New Student FAQs
Answer: Take action now.
Advisors will review important credit standing information at Orientation, however students are expected to take specific actions if planning on coming with any AP and/or transfer credit prior to attending orientation, or at the latest, immediately following attending orientation. Required actions for students with Early College Experience (ECE) happen in the student's first term.Answer: YES
All Business students are asked to complete the MPE (Math Placement Exam) with a 22 or higher, regardless of prior experience or academic plans. Scores will not impact student placement or advisor recommendations for MATH courses, but a passing score will help a student be better prepared for the business math curriculum, and allow for a productive conversation with an Academic Advisor at Orientation.Answer: It depends.
All Business students are encouraged to review the guidelines for English placement. Note that the GPS is required for incoming international students and non-native speakers of English, but open to any student, to help determine student readiness and appropriate placement for required first year English courses.Answer: NO
Business students do not typically take Chemistry courses, so the Chemistry Placement Exam is not required unless the student plans to pursue Chemistry separately or a specific STEM field which requires it (pre-med/pre-dental, etc.).Prospective Business Students
The School of Business has many helpful resources available to students who are considering applying to the School of Business in a future term.
The School of Business accepts applications of eligible UConn students two times each academic year.
If already at UConn, it is important to work towards a parallel plan while you are preparing to apply to the School of Business to make progress towards graduation.
There are many minors offered by the School of Business that integrate well into many majors outside of Business.

Arfa shared the following about how she chooses which challenge to accomplish in LAUNCH Level Up.
“I am currently a first-year student at Avery Point, so when I was choosing challenges to complete, I tried picking the ones that allowed me to interact with new people on campus.

Congratulations to one of our Fall 2022 Grand Prize winners, Victoria!
Victoria shared the following about what her favorite part of participating in LAUNCH Level Up was.
“A challenge I enjoyed was the Wilbur Cross Street Fair, which included a scavenger hunt for the different offices within Wilbur Cross. It was great learning more about each office and receiving prizes along the way.
I like to choose challenges that offer a learning component in addition to freebies. It’s always fun to win prizes, but I feel more informed as a UConn student to learn more about what the campus has to offer.”
