B.S. in Commerce

Connect With Us

Even though students do not typically apply to the McIntire School until their second year, we encourage prospective students to learn about the School, business industries, career possibilities, and the application process before applying.

We don’t track demonstrated interest in the program, and it’s not a factor in admission to McIntire.

Walk-In Advising

If you’re a current UVA student interested in McIntire's B.S. in Commerce Program, you can have a one-on-one conversation about the prerequisites, the admissions process, and the Commerce curriculum during walk-in advising, conducted by McIntire Ambassadors.

Ambassadors are third- and fourth-year Commerce students trained to answer questions about McIntire prerequisites and curricular information, but more than that, they’re ready to share their experience about the McIntire classroom experience, curriculum, resources, and community.
