How do I transfer into Florida State University College of Business?

I'm considering transferring to FSU's College of Business. What are the transfer requirements, especially regarding GPA, and are there any specific courses I need to have completed beforehand?

Generally, for transferring to Florida State University's College of Business, there are several key requirements. First, you need to have earned an Associate in Arts (AA) degree from a Florida public institution or have completed the equivalent general education requirements at another institution. This broadly consists of at least 60 credit hours of college coursework work including all of the pre-requisite courses for your intended major.

The best indication of your potential academic success at Florida State University is your calculated transfer GPA. Very few students with less than a 3.0 calculated GPA will be admitted. Be in good academic standing and have at least a 2.0 calculated GPA on all work attempted at your last institution.

Specific to the College of Business, you will indeed need to have completed specific pre-requisite courses before your transfer. These courses vary according to the major you intend to pursue within the College of Business but typically include courses in economics, math, and business statistics. For example, if you are interested in a major in Finance, you need to have taken Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Business Calculus, and Business Statistics.

Admissions could be competitive, so the more preparation you've completed, the better. It would be best to directly refer to the FSU's specific course requirement breakdown for the Business College as well as the specific major you are interested in. Make sure all the needed pre-requisite courses are covered before applying for a smooth transfer process.

Remember, it's always advisable to reach out directly to the FSU admissions office or the College of Business to clarify any specific queries and understand what might make your application stand out. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information. Good luck with your transfer!
