Are there any strong test optional business programs in Colorado? I'm considering applying and would prefer schools that don't require SAT/ACT scores. Looking for any insights or personal experiences!
You're in luck, there are some good options within Colorado that are test-optional and well-known for their business programs!
1. University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business: This program is recognized nationally and has some highly rated specialties such as entrepreneurship and real estate. It offers undergraduates degrees in areas such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and Management & Entrepreneurship. They've adopted temporary test-optional policy due to the pandemic for their Fall 2022 undergraduate applicants.
2. University of Denver's Daniels College of Business: The Daniels College offers the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with popular concentrations in real estate, international business, and marketing. University of Denver adopted a test-optional admission policy for first-year applicants in 2021 and indicated that it will be in place for at least two years until the entering class of Fall 2023.
3. University of Northern Colorado’s Monfort College of Business: Monfort College offers undergraduate degrees in Accounting, Business Administration (with emphasis options in Computer Information Systems, Finance, General Business, Human Resource Management, Management, and Marketing), Economics, and Software Engineering. They have adopted a test-optional policy for students applying for admission in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023.
Remember, while these schools are test-optional, strong test scores can still strengthen your application if you choose to submit them. Also, maintain your GPA and involvement in extracurricular activities, particularly those related to business or leadership, to bolster your application. Good luck with your college search!
