Freshman admission is competitive. Students who apply for and are accepted into the Belk College of Business are initially classified as Pre-Accounting (PACC), Pre-Business (PBUS), or Pre-Economics (PECO) majors. Transfer students from other institutions must present a GPA of at least 2.5, as calculated by the UNC Charlotte Office of Undergraduate Admissions, to be admitted into a PACC, PBUS, or PECO major. Students then work with the Belk College of Business to apply for an upper-division Accounting, Business, or Economics major.
Students who complete the Progression Requirements listed below may declare an upper-division major in Economics in either the Business Concentration or Liberal Arts Concentration.
