Does anyone know what the specific transfer requirements are for the SDSU College of Business? I'm a community college student, and I'm trying to make sure I have everything in place to transfer successfully.
San Diego State University (SDSU) has some specifics for transfer students looking to enter their College of Business. Here are few things you should keep in mind:
1. You should have a minimum of 60 transferable semester (or 90 quarter) units by the time of transfer. This means essentially two years of college-level work.
2. Maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all transferable courses, although a higher GPA can make your application more competitive. There might be some specific GPA requirements depending on your intended major in the College of Business.
3. Completion of certain general education coursework ("Golden Four") is required - it includes courses in Oral Communication, Written Communication, Critical Thinking, and Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning.
4. While not always mandatory, it's usually beneficial to complete as many lower-division major prep courses as possible in your specific major. For the College of Business, this includes courses like microeconomics, macroeconomics, business calculus, and financial accounting to name a few. You can refer to the Assist website to align your coursework at your community college with SDSU's requirements.
5. Complete the application process within time, which usually opens in October and goes till end of November.
Please note that admission to SDSU, especially to its business programs, is competitive and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Always refer to the SDSU's official website or contact their admissions directly for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
