Undergrad B School Admissions Questions

<p>Does going to a business school mean you can't get a second major from the primary school? </p>

<p>Ex. If I go to Mendoza at Notre Dame and majored in entrepreneurship would I be able to get a second major from Notre Dame that wasn't from the business school?</p>

<p>Do you have to apply separately to get into a schools business school, or is getting accepted into the father school enough? </p>

<p>Ex. Is applying to Notre Dame the same as applying to Mendoza? If I get into Notre Dame can I just choose to go to Mendoza?</p>

<p>Please explain. Thank you all.</p>

<p>Are your questions only about ND or generally? If only ND, you can get more info on that board. However – at ND, Mendoza B school is not gated and – someone correct me if I am wrong – I don’t believe they do direct admits. All students follow the First Year of Studies curriculum and then declare a B school major. Many students double major between Mendoza B school major and the College of Arts and Sciences. </p>

<p>Other B school programs work differently. At IU Bloomington, there are direct admits into the B school, and cross majoring outside the college is, I think, more difficult. At UW Madison, there are few direct admits and most freshman apply in the spring and are admitted over the summer, beginning sophomore year as a B school student. </p>

<p>The availability of double majors between two colleges within a university – the College of Business and another College, such as Arts and Letters – varies tremendously between schools. If you have a target list, you need to research the feasibility of double majors across two colleges at each target school. There is no single answer to how it works. </p>
