Admission to the College of Business:

All of the undergraduate programs in the College of Business at Florida State University are designated as limited access programs. Admission to these limited access programs is based on the availability of faculty and space by discipline. For each admission cycle (academic year), a minimum grade point average (GPA) is established by the College of Business that limits enrollment to a number of students consistent with the available faculty and space.

(1) Must have completed at least 52 semester hours credit.
