[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm re-posting this from another thread discussing VA undergrad business programs, because I'm afraid people might have missed this information.

1) Starting with the freshman 2024 class (so current high school seniors who are applying), McIntire School of Commerce (UVA's undergrad Business School) will be a three-year program -- students will apply their freshman year, not their sophomore year. This has been publicly announced.

(2) Although I'm not sure it has it has been publicly announced, UVA also plans to start offering a Business/Commerce minor.

These are significant and much-needed changes in my opinion. When considering schools, students still need to consider that even if they clear the challenging UVA admittance hurdle, they still might not be able to "major in Business", i.e., gain admission into McIntire (admission rate has been @60%), but now students will know at the end of their freshman year and if they are not admitted and still interested in business, they have the option of a Business Minor. It's also important in light of the fact that many undergrad business programs are four-year programs.

As an aside, although referred to as the "Commerce School", McIntire is UVA's undergrad "Business School" and it directly competes with/and is considered one of the best business programs among every other undergraduate business program no matter what they are called.[/quote]

or they can transfer for their sophomore year if they don't get in.[/quote]
