Cross-campus Students
UM-Dearborn students from other academic programs are welcome to schedule an appointment with a College of Business advisor to learn more about the BBA program.
All students interested in pursuing the Bachelor of Business Administration or a business minor, are welcome to schedule an appointment with a College of Business advisor. To do so, contact the COB Student Services Office at 313-593-5460 or [email protected].
Due to the heavy advising load during certain times of the year, we refrain from scheduling cross-campus appointments during the first two weeks of each semester and the months of October and March. However, cross-campus students are welcome to participate in walk-in Wednesdays at any time of the year. These are short meetings with the advisors in which students can ask about general issues.
To apply to the College of Business, current UM-Dearborn students need to submit a Change of Degree form to their current academic unit. (Download the form to access the writable pdf version.)
Admission
Non-College of Business students that do not meet the criteria for BBA admission with professional standing may be considered for cross-campus admission into the major with preprofessional standing. Considerations for admission include, but are not limited to:
- a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0
- a minimum grade point average of 2.80 in LE 253 and/or any upper level business credits completed at UM-Dearborn
- a minimum grade of C in any of the BBA Preprofessional requirements completed
- completion of the math requirement, or completion of Math Placement Exam and discretion of the COB Student Services Office.
To be admitted to the BBA program with professional standing, students must satisfy four requirements:
- Complete the ten preprofessional courses, with a minimum grade of C in each course.
- Obtain Junior standing by completing a minimum of 55 credit hours. This includes both transferred credits and those completed at UM-Dearborn.
- Achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.
- Achieve a minimum GPA of 2.80 in DS 301 and at least 9 business credits from the BBA Core and any other upper-level business course completed at UM-Dearborn. (If a student receives transfer credit for DS 301, then BE 401 or FIN 401 must be taken as a substitute.)
