Applicants who wish to pursue an undergraduate business major in Daniels must first apply to, and be accepted by, the University of Denver. The application to the university serves as the Daniels College of Business application for students who indicate business as their intended major on their application to DU. Students will be considered for direct admission to Daniels when accepted to the University of Denver. If applicants are not directly admitted through the DU application process, they are encouraged to work through the fast track or pre-business pathways as an enrolled student.

There are three possible admission routes into Daniels:

1. Secure direct admission upon application to the University of Denver, based on indication of business interest on application and overall strength of application credentials. Transfer applicants are evaluated on GPA, transfer coursework, and work experience; or
2. Earn Fast Track admission upon completing two quarters as a full-time student at DU with a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher, including successful completion (C- or higher) of MATH 1200 or 1951; or
3. Pursue the Pre-business pathway through the successful completion (C- or higher) of the following: BUS 1440 The Fourth Industrial Revolution, BUS 1099 Daniels Professional Development Program Part I, ECON 1020 Economics: A Critical Introduction, INFO 1010 Analytics I: Data Management and Analysis INFO 1020 Analytics II: Business Statistics and Analysis, MATH 1200 Calculus for Business and Social Sciences or MATH 1951 Calculus I, in addition to Microsoft Certifications for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. A 2.5 minimum cumulative GPA is required to apply. Application cycles are offered in fall, winter, and spring quarters.

This sample quarter-by-quarter course plan outlines recommended paths for completing the courses required to earn Fast Track admission or to apply to Daniels.

Please refer to the Daniels website (http://daniels.du.edu) for specific information related to the admission process and requirements. Students needing special accommodations should contact University Disability Services at dsp@du.edu, 303­871­3939 or www.du.edu/studentlife/disability.

In reference to Pass/Fail:
http://bulletin.du.edu/undergraduate/academicpoliciesandprocedures/

In recognition of the unique challenges that students face during the COVID-19 pandemic, the University instituted changes in grading systems for academic terms affected by the pandemic. The University gives all undergraduate students the option to convert one letter course grades per term Pass/No Pass mode.

The following definitions apply to these grades:
• Pass Plus (P+) is defined as institutional credit with a grade of C- or higher.
• Pass (P) is defined as institutional credit with a grade of D+, D, or D-.
• No Pass (NP) is defined as no institutional credit because the grade is lower than D-.

For a course where a student elects the P+/P/NP grade, that course will not be calculated in a student's GPA. However, standard letter grades for the remaining courses will be calculated in a student's GPA.

Pass grades cannot be applied to major or minor requirements. They are equivalent to D+, D, or D-, and for that reason they will not apply to undergraduate majors or minors.
