University of Montana College of Business Begins Direct Admit Program for Freshmen

Beginning fall 2020, University of Montana students interested in studying business will have a faster route into UM’s College of Business.

Traditionally, students who wish to declare a business major had to be first fully admitted to UM and then formally apply to the College of Business during their sophomore year.

Now, first-year UM students entering the fall semester in 2020 may be invited to the Direct Admit Program within the business college. The new program will allow UM freshmen to declare business as their major rather than waiting until they are sophomores  ̶  a move that can save students time and resources and offer earlier access to required coursework.
