Business - Smith School Page Update 5-9-18

You can always find an updated copy on the MC Transfer Page – go to “Advising by Majors” and look for “Business”. http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/EDU/department4sub1.aspx?id=10187

1. Believe it or not, there are no changes to admissions requirements for the Smith School this time. 

The only change to this page is that the General Education areas now refer students to check a current Gen Ed List rather than spelling out specific courses.  This is necessary because students MUST choose future courses from the new 2018-19 General Education Program List and not a previous copy.  This is a link to the 2018-19 Gen Ed List in the Online Catalog:  http://catalog.montgomerycollege.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=9&poid=2369

2. And just a few Insider Notes:
1. The Smith School at the Main Campus remains highly competitive.  While the minimum GPA state is a 3.0, the going rate for entry seems to be at least a 3.5 overall GPA, with mostly A’s and some B’s in business courses of ACCT, ECON, and MATH if others are completed beyond the Gateway courses of ACCT 221, MATH 150 & MATH 117/BSAD 210 Stat.
2. Admission to the Smith School at Shady Grove seems to be more individual.  While the expectation is at least a 3.0 or higher, if a student has Gateway repeats with a strong reason for the repeat(s) or other circumstances, the application might still be considered further.  It is important to inform students that Smith-Shady Grove is a Fall Entrance, full-time daytime program.  At this point (in May), admission continues to be on a rolling basis until the majors of Accounting, Management, and Marketing are filled.  The application deadline is June 1.
