School of Business
Greg Reilly, Ph.D., Interim Dean
Nora Madjar, Ph.D., Associate Dean
Undergraduate education in business is designed to impart a broad base of general knowledge, within which students pursue additional knowledge to become exceptional managerial and business leaders. The curricula seek to expand capacities, perspectives, and skills of students who wish direct preparation for careers in either business firms or the public service.
In addition to the business programs leading to the Bachelor of Science, a Management and Engineering for Manufacturing bachelor’s degree program is offered jointly with the College of Engineering and is described at the end of the list of business majors in this section of the catalog.
Field Study Internships
Internship experiences, with or without credit, provide students an opportunity for field work in areas of business and government. Regular internship programs are available on a limited basis in accounting and marketing. Internships may be arranged for credit in other departments and majors within the School of Business; these are subject to availability and departmental restrictions. Students interested in seeking internships should begin skill development early, and work in consultation with the Business Career Development Office.

Accelerated Programs
Accelerated Business Analytics and Project Management MS
Prospective undergraduate UConn students must apply to the Accelerated Master of Science in Business Analytics and Project Management through the regular Graduate School admissions process during the Fall semester of their junior year. Students who meet conditional acceptance requirements, will be admitted to the Accelerated Master of Science in Business Analytics and Project Management if they also successfully complete their UConn undergraduate degree while maintaining the minimum cumulative GPA for admission to the UConn Graduate School, and receive a grade of “B” or better in both courses in one of the following sequences: OPIM 5270 Introduction to Project Management and OPIM 5603 Statistics in Business Analytics; or OPIM 5603 Statistics in Business Analytics and OPIM 5604 Predictive Modeling. Students must also fulfill the Technical Communications foundational knowledge requirement by earning a Bachelor’s degree with an Affiliated Major or Minor, or “B” or better in OPIM 5601 Technical Communications in Business Analytics and Project Management, or an engineering Senior Design course, or other relevant coursework subject to MSBAPM Director approval.
To complete the MSBAPM degree, students admitted to the Accelerated Masters are required to complete 30 credit hours, having completed seven of the required credits to attain admission to the MSBPAM program.
Accelerated Financial and Enterprise Risk Management MS
Undergraduate students enrolled in Finance or other related majors (including other business majors, Economics, Actuarial Science, and Mathematics) may apply for the Accelerated track during their junior year. Students must go through a competitive admissions process, and if accepted into the track, will have to take and pass FNCE 5333 Applications in Enterprise Risk Management II and either FNCE 5322 Risk Management in Equity Markets or FNCE 5323 Advanced Issues and Applications in Risk Management I as part of their undergraduate studies. Up to 12 credits of the required graduate coursework taken as an undergraduate may be used toward both the Bachelor’s and Master’s Plans of Study. This allows students to complete their M.S. in one additional year after completing their Bachelor’s degree. Students who take FNCE 4306 Financial Services or the equivalent as an undergraduate, as approved by their advisory committee, will be exempted from FNCE 5310 Introduction to U.S. Capital Markets, thus reducing by three credits the number of credits that they need for the M.S.
Accelerated Financial Technology MS
Prospective undergraduate UConn students must apply to the Accelerated Master of Science in Financial Technology Program through the online pre-graduate application through The Graduate School once they have successfully completed 54 undergraduate credits. The pre-graduate application is in addition to The Graduate School's formal application process and does not guarantee admission.
Undergraduate students receiving a grade of B or better in FNCE 5711 Foundations of FinTech and OPIM 5603 Statistics in Business Analytics who are admitted into the UConn Graduate School may apply these six credits toward both the undergraduate and M.S. plans of study. To complete the M.S. FinTech degree, students admitted to the Accelerated Masters are required to complete 30 credit hours, having completed six of the required credits to attain admission to the M.S. FinTech program.
Accelerated Social Responsibility and Impact in Business
After completing 54 undergraduate credits, UConn undergraduate students can apply to the Accelerated Master of Science in Social Responsibility and Impact in Business Program through the online Pre-Graduate application through the Graduate School. Up to 12 credits of the following graduate-level coursework (MKTG 5100 Business Fundamentals for Social Impact, BLAW 5175 Business, Law, and Ethics in Modern Society, BLAW 5252 Business and Human Rights, BLAW 5253 Sustainability, Markets, and Society, BLAW 5254 Social Responsibility and Accountability in Business, MKTG 5255 Global Issues in Marketing for Social Impact, or MKTG 5258 Marketing Strategy for Environmental and Social Impact) may be taken while the student is an undergraduate and can be applied toward both the undergraduate and M.S. Plans of Study. Upon completing their undergraduate degree, students must then apply for admission to the M.S. through the Graduate School. The M.S. program requires 30 graduate credits.
Accelerated Supply Chain Management M.S.
The Accelerated M.S. in Supply Chain Management is offered for students who complete an undergraduate program at any UConn campus.
Prospective undergraduate UConn students must apply to the Accelerated Master of Science in Supply Chain Management through the regular Graduate School admissions process during the Fall semester of their junior year. Students who meet conditional acceptance requirements, will be admitted to the Accelerated Master of Science in Supply Chain Management if they also successfully complete their UConn undergraduate degree while maintaining the minimum cumulative GPA for admission to The Graduate School and receive a grade of "B" or better in OPIM 5110 Operations Management and one of the following courses:

To complete the MSSCM degree, students admitted to the Accelerated Masters are required to complete 24 additional credit hours, having completed 6 of the required credits to attain admission to the MSSCM program.
Admission and Degree Requirements
Admission Requirements
See Admission to the University. The School of Business admits qualified students into a major in the School directly as first-year students. Students not admitted into the School of Business at the time of entry to the University may apply for admission to a major through School of Business procedures. Admission is competitive. Decisions will be based on several criteria including the applicant’s academic record, courses completed, and space availability at the campus to which they are applying.
Current School of Business students may request a change to another business major offered at their campus by submitting an application to the School of Business Undergraduate Programs Office and meeting the admission criteria for that major. The Management and Engineering for Manufacturing major has a separate application and is competitive. Students graduating before Spring 2027 are not eligible to apply to the Financial Technology major. Individuals who have already completed a bachelor’s degree should contact the M.B.A., the M.S. in Accounting, the M.S. in Business Analytics and Project Management, the M.S. in Financial and Enterprise Risk Management, the M.S. in Human Resource Management, or the M.S. in Social Responsibility and Impact in Business programs to consider a graduate degree rather than another undergraduate degree.
Transfer Students
Students at other post-secondary institutions, who are not currently attending or who have never attended the University as an undergraduate degree seeking student, must file a separate University application with the:
Transfer Admissions Office
2131 Hillside Road, Unit 3088
Storrs, CT 06269-3088
Students who have completed a minimum of 40 credits may submit an application. Students wishing to transfer directly into the School of Business must have made substantial progress toward completing first and second year, (1000-2000 level) requirements; particularly courses which are prerequisites for Common Body of Knowledge/Entry Level Business courses (ENGL 1007 Seminar and Studio in Writing and Multimodal Composition or ENGL 1010 Seminar in Academic Writing or ENGL 1011 Seminar in Writing through Literature; ACCT 2001 Principles of Financial Accounting; MATH 1070Q Mathematics for Business and Economics and MATH 1071Q Calculus for Business and Economics; COMM 1000 The Process of Communication or COMM 1100 Principles of Public Speaking; ECON 1201 Principles of Microeconomics and ECON 1202 Principles of Macroeconomics, or ECON 1200 Principles of Economics (Intensive); STAT 1000Q Introduction to Statistics I or STAT 1100Q Elementary Concepts of Statistics) and must successfully complete these courses by the end of the term in which they complete 54 credits. Transfer students from outside of the University of Connecticut who transfer 54 or more credits must have completed the critical required courses (or equivalents) upon transfer. Number of credits earned, grade point average in all courses taken, and space availability are key considerations in admissions decisions.
Transfer applicants not accepted directly into the School of Business at the time of entry to the University may apply for admission following the Current UConn Students procedures outlined below once they meet the minimum criteria. For transfer students applying in the first semester at UConn, decisions are made on a space-available basis after completion of one full semester at the University.
Current UConn Students
Current University of Connecticut non-business undergraduate students who are seeking admission to business majors, and current business students seeking admission to a business major not at their campus, must submit an application. Students seeking admission to a School of Business major have met the following minimum criteria at the time of application:
