How to Transfer into PVAMU's College of Business?

I'm thinking about transferring to Prairie View A&M University's College of Business. Could someone walk me through their transfer requirements? I'm wondering what kind of GPA and courses I need for a smooth transition.

Sure, I'd be happy to run you through what Prairie View A&M University's (PVAMU) College of Business is looking for in transfer students.

Firstly, as with most colleges, PVAMU has some general transfer requirements. You would need a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on all transferable coursework. If you're coming from a public Texas community college, there's a handy tool you can use under the Transfer Student tab on PVAMU's website, which will let you see which of the courses you have taken can be transferred over.

For the College of Business specifically, your GPA is even more important. Generally, admission into PVAMU's business program is more competitive and requires a higher GPA - often around 2.5 or higher.

Finally, regarding the courses, you would need to have completed a certain number of relevant prerequisite courses. The business program typically demands a solid foundation in courses such as general business, finance, accounting, economics, statistics, and calculus. However, the exact prerequisites can depend on the specific business major you plan to pursue. To make sure your transition is as smooth as possible, I recommend contacting the College of Business directly to get a detailed list of these required courses and any additional requirements they might have.

Remember, while meeting these minimum criteria makes you eligible for admission, it doesn't guarantee your acceptance. Admissions officers consider other factors as well, such as your personal statement, work experience and any extracurricular activities that demonstrate your interest in business.

Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you need any more info!
