A student wishing to transfer to USF should complete the A.A. degree at a Florida community/junior college. Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. A minimum of 60 semester hours must be completed at the university unless prior approval is secured. If a student transfers without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, a student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements. A transfer student should also be aware of the immunization, foreign language, and continuous enrollment policies of the university.
To be admitted to the College of Business Administration upper division major, a student must first be accepted to the university. Additionally, a student must have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours, earned a 2.0 all-college grade point ratio, and completed the prerequisite courses below with a 2.0 GPA, no grade lower than a “C” and a 2.0 GPA in all work attempted at USF, including any credit prior to salvage. A student working toward meeting the limited access criteria and who has completed 60 hours will be permitted to enroll in selected upper division courses.
