Admission Requirements

Admission to the McCoy College of Business Administration (McCoy College) is competitive, and a student must be admitted to the McCoy College to pursue a B.B.A. degree. Consideration for admission to McCoy College undergraduate programs is based on specific admission criteria and is conducted as a rolling admission process. For current Texas State students, applications are available online at http://advising.mccoy.txstate.edu/apply. For students not yet admitted to the University, applications are available online at www.applytexas.org. Students should list a business major as their first major choice.

Priority dates are March 1 for summer/fall semester and October 15 for the spring semester. Applications received after the priority date will be considered for admission on a space-available basis. Students not yet admitted to Texas State must meet Texas State admission deadlines. Students attending Texas State who are currently on academic probation are not eligible for admission to McCoy College.

Freshmen and Students with fewer than 30 Semester Credit Hours

Students with fewer than 30 semester credit hours will be automatically admitted to the McCoy College if they receive assured admission to Texas State and select a first-choice major in the McCoy College of Business Administration. Students who are admitted to the University but denied admission to McCoy College will be considered for admission to their second choice major or as an exploratory professional major.

Students with 30 or more Semester Credit Hours

Students who have completed at least 30 semester hours, including ENG1310, ENG1320, and MATH1329,either at Texas State or another college or universityand who have a minimum 2.5 overall GPAwill be considered for admission based upon a competitive index using the grades from ENG1310,ENG1320, MATH1329, and the overall GPA from all colleges and universities attended.
