Admission Requirements
Admission to the Argyros School of Business and Economics is determined separately from admission to the University. Currently enrolled Chapman students wishing to change majors to a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Accounting, Bachelor of Arts in Economics or add a business or economics minor, must submit an application to the Argyros School of Business and Economics assistant dean for undergraduate programs. The application to change majors to a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration or a Bachelor of Science in Accounting or pursue a Minor in Business Administration will not be approved until the student has completed MATH 109 , ECON 200 , ECON 201 and ACTG 210 with a grade point average of 2.500 or higher. Admission to the Bachelor of Arts in Economics or the Minor in Economics requires completion of ECON 200 , ECON 201 and MATH 109 or MATH 110 with a grade point average of 2.500 or higher. The Minors in Analytics, Entrepreneurship and Humanomics do not require an application.

All students pursuing a major or minor in the Argyros School of Business and Economics must attain at least a 2.500 grade point average in MATH 109 , ECON 200 , ECON 201 and ACTG 210 before enrolling in upper-division courses and maintain at least a 2.000 overall grade point average in the major or minor. Students may elect to repeat any of these courses in an attempt to earn a higher grade. If the course is repeated at Chapman University, only the higher grade will be used to compute the grade point average. However, consistent with University policy, if the course is repeated at another institution, the grade earned at Chapman will continue to be included in the student’s grade point average computation.
