Special Department Admission Requirements for Texas Tech University College of Business
Admission of Transfer Students
Students planning to take their first two years of work at a junior or community college should follow the lower-division degree plan. A maximum of 72 hours can be accepted provided none of the courses are vocational, workforce education, career, or upper-division courses.
Courses that are acceptable from a four-year institution are the lower-division requirements, free electives, and the following upper-division core: BLAW 3391, FIN 3320, ISQS 3344, MGT 3370, and MKT 3350. The last 30 hours must be taken while registered in the Rawls College of Business.
Students transferring from any institution must have at least a 3.0 GPA on a minimum of 18 hours from any college or university and be TSI compliant. Transfer credit is not used in the calculation of a student’s Texas Tech grade point average.

Official transcripts from all institutions are needed before the acceptance of transfer credit.
Students requesting permission to transfer from another college at Texas Tech must have a 3.0 TTU GPA on a minimum of 18 hours, exclusive of credit earned by exam, and be TSI compliant.

No business administration minor course can be used in place of a major requirement unless approved at time of transfer.
