Business Administration

When can I apply to the Haas School of Business?

  • You can apply for admission to the business school at the end of your sophomore year. Approximately 50% of the students who apply to Haas each year from L&S gain admission. The rest are expected to declare a major in L&S. For more information about undergraduate admission requirements and application procedures, contact the Haas School of Business.

  • If you are interested in the undergraduate business program begin immediate and careful planning for Haas and for a possible L&S major.

  • The L&S College Advisers will work closely with you as you prepare to apply to Haas or to stay in L&S.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q - Does completing an undergraduate business major give me an advantage in applying for my MBA?

A - Not necessarily. The most selective MBA programs are looking for the most qualified students. Previous education, test scores, and work experience are all important. Traditionally, schools of business administration do not offer undergraduate degrees, so MBA programs have not given priority to students with this preparation. Generally, graduate business schools, like all graduate programs, prefer students with strong, broad academic records that demonstrate a solid background in the basic academic skills which are necessary for success.
