Santa Clara University

Our apologies - - The School of Business is currently not accepting applications for transfer from the Schools of A&S and Engineering, or requests to add a second major in business.  There will be an application process announced to the University community in the spring quarter for any spaces that may be available for the fall quarter.  We anticipate that there may be more applications than spaces available, so there is no guarantee that non-business students will be able to declare a major in business.

Students who plan to apply to the school of business in the spring may be asking what classes to take in preparation.  Since business courses are restricted, there are a limited number of courses that we can recommend. 

The following courses will satisfy requirements in both the university and business core:

 

For Students in 2001-2008 Core	For Students in 2009 and later Core
ENGL 1 and 2	Critical Thinking and Writing 1 and 2
MATH 30 and 31 or MATH 11 and 12	MATH 30 and 31 or MATH 11 and 12
Two Western Culture Courses	Cultures and Ideas 1 and 2
2nd language (Required to 2nd course for business students – e.g. SPAN 2)	2nd language (Required to 2nd course for business students – e.g. SPAN 2)
ECON 1 (social science)	ECON 1 (social science)
PHIL 6 (ethics)	PHIL 6 (ethics)
World Cultures/Societies – area studies
Three religious studies courses	Three Religion, Theology and Culture courses
United States	Diversity
	Arts
Lab Science	Natural Science

- Students may also attend the first class session of BUSN 70.  If there are spaces available after all business students are enrolled, they may receive a permission number to add the class during the first week of classes.

- Students may also want to consider a business minor, and may wish to review requirements for the available business-related minors (A&S ECON, International business, MIS, Retail Studies).    However, students should not pick up a minor simply to be allowed to enroll in restricted business classes.  Students should only declare a minor which they intend to complete even if they do not get accepted in the school as a major.
