Raj Soin College of Business
Admissions and Advising
All students who are interested in a degree in business administration should apply to Wright State University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions. When applying, students should indicate their preferred major within the college, if known. Business majors are required to complete the program of study that is in effect at the time of their admission to the Raj Soin College of Business. Specific requirements for admission to the college follow; these requirements are subject to change.
Admission from University College and Other WSU Colleges
The college has a two-tier admission process. Students in University College or another unit of Wright State must meet the following Tier I requirements to transfer to the Raj Soin College of Business:
Tier I
- 45 hours earned.
- Completion of ENG 101 and 102, and either MTH 128 or 129 (or higher-level math class), all with a letter grade of "C" or better.
- 2.5 minimum cumulative GPA. Students who meet the above requirements will be assigned to a prebusiness category and will be required to meet the following Tier II requirements before they can enroll in junior- or senior-level classes.
Completion of:
ACC 201, 202
EC 201, 202, 203
MS 201, 202
CS 205
MTH 228
Transfer Students
Transfer students seeking admission to the Raj Soin College of Business must satisfy the criteria for Wright State students. Students who return to Wright State University after being absent for four or more quarters must reapply for admission and satisfy the same admission requirements listed above for Wright State students. These students will be required to complete the program requirements that are in effect at the time of their readmission to the college.
Acceptable transfer credit will satisfy any of the above requirements.
Enrollment in 300- or 400-level business classes is restricted to business majors who have completed Tier II and attained junior standing. This is to ensure that students have the appropriate prerequisites and an adequate foundation for their professional course work in business.
In the quarter that they register for their last Tier II requirements, students will be automatically transferred from a prebusiness to a business major number permitting enrollment in 300-level business classes. If a student finds that this has not happened and he or she cannot register for 300-level business classes, the student should contact the advising office immediately.
Advising
Program advisors are available in 110 Rike Hall to help students plan their program of study. Students receive a list of their General Education and major degree requirements when they are admitted to the college, and they are required to meet with an advisor to review these requirements and sign the requirements sheets. Signatures are not required for registration, but students are encouraged to see an advisor at least once a year to be sure they are on schedule for their projected graduation date. Advisors may also provide help with procedural or academic problems.
Students will also be assigned a faculty advisor based on their major. Faculty advisors can discuss career opportunities and career planning, recom-mend major and business electives, and discuss the curriculum of their major field. A list of faculty advisors is available in 110 Rike Hall or in department offices.
If a student's cumulative GPA falls below the 2.0 required for graduation, the student will be placed on probation. While on probation, students can enroll in only four classes. If a student’s cumulative GPA remains below 2.0 for three consecutive quarters, the student is subject to dismissal. Students on probation should meet with an advisor each quarter before registering.
