Admissions
Admission to the Haas Undergraduate Program is highly competitive. View admission statistics in our class profile.
Please take a look at our admissions criteria.
No – the admission committee will always start with the first attempt at a prerequisite. If you received a C- or higher for the first attempt the prerequisite should not be repeated.If you received a D+ or lower in a prerequisite the course must be repeated until you receive at least a C-. The D+ will still be considered because it is your first attempt.
International Transfer Applicants
International students should follow the admission requirements and application procedures outlined on our website. Our admissions process is the same for international and U.S. students.
The Haas Undergraduate Program rarely admits students directly from international institutions. 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. International students interested in the business major typically complete Haas admission requirements at a California Community College and apply for transfer from that institution.
TOEFL Exams are not required for admission. Haas requires all applicants to take English Reading and Composition courses rather than English proficiency exams for admission. Please visit our website to learn more about transfer admission requirements and application procedures.
Students Planning to Transfer from 4-year Colleges
The Haas Undergraduate Program rarely admits transfer students from 4-year institutions. 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. Transfer applicants from 4-year colleges should follow the transfer admission requirements and application procedures outlined on our website.
Haas only has transfer agreements with California Community Colleges and unfortunately cannot pre-approve coursework for other schools. You can contact UC Berkeley’s Office of Undergraduate Admission (OUA) to determine if your courses transfer to UC Berkeley. However, OUA will not advise you on whether the courses fulfill Haas admission requirements. Applicants from schools other than California community colleges should compare the descriptions (or syllabi) of prerequisites and breadth coursework required of Berkeley applicants, listed on our website and in the Berkeley Academic Guide, with the course syllabi of courses offered at your school to get a general idea of which courses you should take to satisfy our requirements. For English Reading & Composition students at schools other than California community colleges should refer to http://admissions.berkeley.edu/transfer_info for a listing of articulated courses.
If your school does not offer Haas admission requirements you should find a school in your area that offers the course(s). If you do not complete the required courses by the end of the Spring term prior to your anticipated start at Haas, you will be ineligible for admission.
