College of Business Admission Process
First-year business applicants are first reviewed by the Office of Admissions for admissibility to the university. Then they are reviewed by the Broad College of Business for direct admission to the College of Business. During this time, the student's major will appear as business preference in their account (no additional action is required).
The Broad College of Business has a competitive admission program with limited space for direct admission. There are two pathways for admission:
- Direct admission from high school
- Secondary admission for current MSU students
