Pre-Business Program

When you enter the College of Charleston you may declare your intent to major in the School of Business and Economics by filing a DECLARATION OF INTENT form in the Student Success Center.( A registration hold will be placed on your account and you will be required to attend an advising session with the Director of Advising in the School of Business and Economics in order to have the hold cleared.) This session will provide an opportunity for you to ask questions, seek advice and create an academic plan to lead you toward graduation. This is also an opportunity for the School to check on your progress and intervene if necessary. Your mid-term and final grades will be monitored each semester.

Your actual DECLARATION OF MAJOR is determined by completion of the School of Business and Economics Admission Criteria. For most students this will be following the second semester of their sophomore year. At the end of the semester your academic progress will be reviewed and if you have successfully completed the foundation courses, ( you will return to the Student Success Center to complete the appropriate paperwork for your official Declaration of Major. At that time you will be assigned a faculty advisor in the business school who will be your contact for questions on programs, career issues and other information.)
