<p>What year and what kind of grades/experiences do you need to enter the undergrad business program?</p>
<p>You can apply to Kenan-Flagler in your sophomore year. It is very competitive, and if you were accepted, you would do J and S years there.</p>
<p>I'm not really qualified to fully answer this question, but I do know that you would apply the spring of your sophomore year, and take business classes your junior and senior years. I'm not sure how selective it is, but I think if you really want to do it you will be able to. Somebody else who knows more than I do please help me out. Thanks!</p>
<p>Current sophomores that applied to the undergrad business school just heard within the last couple weeks whether or not they were accepted. I heard that there were around 1,000 applications for less than 400 spots. It's pretty competitive!</p>
<p>Actually that does not sound too bad jacksongirl....is ther a gpa requirement to apply? like 3.5 I may have heard...</p>
<p>how good is UNC's undergraduate business program in terms of getting good (high paying) jobs after graduation and in terms of getting into elite graduate business programs (like Stanford, Northwestern, etc)</p>
<p>b238</p>
<p>like COtarheel, i'm also not that qualified to answer this question but we have a very good business school here and its not the easiest thing to get into. I have a lot of friends who transfered here just to go to the business school (one came from FSU and the other came from W&M). However according to USNews.com UNC has the 21st best buisness school in the country. Here's the link if you want to check the rest. They ranked Stanford at #2 and Northwestern at #4. The average starting salary from grads of the UNC buisness school is $78,751.</p>
<p>it seems that you are referring to UNC's graduate business school, because that is ranked 21st. however, i am trying to acquire info about their undergrad business program. thank you for your input but does anyone know how well UNC's undergraduate business program is for job placement and for getting into elite graduate business schools?</p>
<p>The <em>undergrad</em> program is ranked 6th by US News, after Penn, MIT, UC-Berkeley, U of Mich, and NYU. It's actually at tie for 6th with Carnegie Mellon and UT-Austin. It's 12th in Accounting, 9th in Finance, 16th in International Business, 6th in Management, 5th in Marketing, 5th in Production/Operations Management, and 11th in Quantitative Analysis. I know rankings don't mean everything, but they do mean something when you're talking about grad school and employment placement.</p>
<p>"Entrepreneur magazine recognized UNC Kenan-Flagler as having the number three entrepreneurial studies program nationwide in its April issue. Last year, Forbes.com and Princeton Review ranked UNC as the top entrepreneurial university."</p>
<p>From UNC website</p>
<p>Isn't the Kenan-Flagler undergraduate degree only in business Administration?</p>
<p>I believe so, but US News also ranks the busines departments by different specialties. Even if such a degree is not offered, classes are still taught in the discipline.</p>
<p>Right, but when you say K-F is 12th in Accounting, 9th in Finance, etc., all that is at the MBA level. </p>
<p>Not too many b-schools offer undergrad degrees in Finance, IB, etc. (Wharton, Stern....)</p>
<p>I'm getting this straight off of US News <em>College</em> Rankings, not Graduate Schools. Here's the link:
<a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankbusiness.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankbusiness.php</a></p>
<p>"U.S. News surveyed deans and senior faculty at undergraduate business programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Participants were asked to rate the quality of all programs they are familiar with on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished). The rankings are based solely on this peer survey; 46 percent of those surveyed responded. Deans and faculty were also asked to nominate the best programs in specialty areas; the five schools receiving the most mentions in each appear below."</p>
<p>Perhaps the departments are ranked? And it would be more applicable to MBAs, but yet the undergrads can take courses in those departments, but do not really have a Finance major. Maybe its called a BSBA with a concentration in"-----".
Because the undergrad degree IS called Business Administration.</p>
<p>I could be entirely wrong though.</p>
<p>Question- why isn't there a concentration in accounting?</p>
<p>I have no answer for you.</p>

If you qualify, you will earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration (BSBA). The general management major may choose to add a concentration in one of the following:</p>
<pre><code>* Finance
* Marketing
* Entrepreneurial Studies
