Admissions
Students who earn a Bachelor of Science degree from the Haas School of Business Undergraduate Program possess the knowledge and technical skills necessary to understand the modern business world, to achieve the highest levels of success in their professional careers, and to prepare for subsequent graduate work. Coursework is fully integrated with the University’s liberal arts curriculum, resulting in graduates who are able to draw upon their knowledge of the arts and sciences as well as business in their endeavors.
This highly selective program accepts applicants for the following pathways:
Continuing UC Berkeley
Students who were admitted to UC Berkeley as freshmen and are planning to apply to Haas during their sophomore or junior years. Continuing UC Berkeley students may only apply once.
Major Maps are a new resource created to help students design and plan their UC Berkeley undergraduate journey. View the new Business Administration 4 Year Major Map here (.pdf).
Transfer
Students who are currently enrolled at another college and are planning to apply for transfer to UC Berkeley and the Haas Undergraduate Program.
Transfer admissions priority is given to students who are US citizens, California residents, and are transferring from a California community college. This is according to California’s Master Plan for Higher Education, the University of California Office of the President and the UC Berkeley faculty.
Students admitted as junior transfers to UC Berkeley’s College of Letters & Science or other majors are NOT eligible to apply to the Haas Undergraduate Program. In addition, we cannot review applications from students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree.
Transfer students admitted to Haas are invited to participate in our Haas Summer PreCore Program. The program offers two 6-week courses for newly admitted Haas transfer students only. The program helps students refresh skills they need during their two years of classes at Haas and is intended to better prepare students for the rigorous coursework of the fall semester. In addition to preparing students academically, this program also offers weekly workshops with guest speakers on a variety of topics. Additional information will be provided once a student is admitted to Haas.
