Diversity Recruitment Initiatives

McIntire aims to foster an inclusive student community as diverse as the global business workforce. Through a holistic review process, we admit individuals who represent a wide range of nationalities, ethnicities, and backgrounds; actively challenge biases; and bring a diversity of thought and experience to the classroom.

Moreover, we are committed to recruiting underserved and underrepresented students by offering dedicated business-related programs and resources, including:

• McIntire Commerce Cohort program
• One-on-one individualized student support and advising
• Diversity recruitment programs
• Support for McIntire affinity groups
• Admission staff participation in the McIntire Ally Program
• Participation in Office of Undergraduate Admission Outreach programs
• Collaborative relationships with UVA offices supporting diverse student populations

McIntire’s Office of Undergraduate Admission collaborates with prospective B.S. in Commerce students, helping in a variety of ways.

We encourage prospective students to contact us early in the admissions process to take advantage of all of our advising opportunities, including academic advising, information sessions, and other events, or to connect with a student ambassador.
