Texas State University’s McCoy College of Business Administration Admission

Admission to the McCoy College is competitive, and admission requirements are beyond those set by Texas State. As a result, a student may be admitted to Texas State but denied admission to the McCoy College. A student must be admitted to the McCoy College to pursue a degree program under the college.

To be eligible for admission to McCoy College, students with at least 30 transferable semester hours must have completed ENG 1310 (College Writing I) and ENG 1320 (College Writing II), and MATH 1329 (Mathematics for Business and Economics II), or their approved equivalents. The required courses must be complete and posted to your Texas State record for your application to be considered. Applicants will be automatically admitted to McCoy College when they have been granted assured admission to Texas State and have an overall GPA of 3.25 or higher. Applicants with an overall GPA below a 3.25 and equal to or greater than 2.5 will be considered for admission through a competitive review process. The review is based on the grades earned in English 1310, English 1320, Math 1329 and the overall GPA from all colleges and universities attended. Applicants denied admission to McCoy College will be considered for admission to the University as exploratory professional (undecided).

To apply to McCoy College you must select the business major of your choice as your first major option on the ApplyTexas Application. Consideration for admission to McCoy College undergraduate programs is based on specific admission criteria and is conducted as a rolling admission process. It is recommended that potential students submit their complete application by the priority date.
