Intra-University
Transfer
In order to become a management or
accounting major, a student must officially transfer into the School of
Management. Intra-University transfer applications are available at the
Undergraduate Admissions Office.After a student has applied, the Admissions Office will evaluate the application
along with all others for the upcoming semester, and either approve or
deny admission. This decision is based on the overall GPA of the student
relative to other applicants.
Spaces available in the SOM
will generally be filled with those applicants with the highest GPA. Preference
may be given to students following a program similar to SOM students and
to students entering the junior year. It is advised therefore, that courses
in calculus, statistics, microeconomics, and/or macroeconomics be considered.
If you are denied admission, you may reapply the following semester. Non-SOM
students may prepare for possible transfer by taking courses which will
fulfill SOM degree requirements. Specifically, students are urged to take
the following courses during their first 2 years:
- Economics 160 and
162
- Math 220 or 221
- 2 courses with
a writing emphasis
- 3 non-introductory
courses in the Liberal Arts
- Statistics
- 2 credits of Physical
Education
- GENED
Within the School of Management, Non-SOM students may petition to enroll
in the following required courses:
- Accounting 211
- Accounting 212
(management majors only)
- BL&S 111 & 112 (the latter for accounting students only)
- IBUS 211 (Management
Majors Only)
Enrollment in the above mentioned
courses will facilitate graduation on time or with minimal delay.

Management
Adjunct Option
This special program responds to requests by non-SOM students
for the opportunity to systematically complete a limited selection of courses
in the School of Management, while completing degree requirements in their
chosen fields. The Management Adjunct option gives a limited number of these
students an introduction to basic subject matter in the areas of management
and accounting. It is not equivalent to an academic major and is not a formal
minor, but rather is a supplement to appropriate majors in the other schools
at Binghamton. Adjunct option students may not take more than 24 credit
hours in the School of Management.
Qualifications:
- Apply at the School of Management Advising Office.
- Meet the following
general entrance criteria
- Have completed
at least 60 credit hours and thus have junior standing.
- Have a cumulative
GPA of at least 3.5 for the last 60 credit hours.
Course Requirements:
- MGMT 311
- ACCT 211
- Complete 4 additional
SOM courses for which the student has the appropriate background (normally
upper level courses)
Students who successfully complete the Adjunct will have this reflected
on their transcript.

Harpur
3/2 Program
Another option open to Harpur students is completion of the
Harpur College bachelors degree in conjunction with a School of Management
Master in Business Administration degree. The program is designed to use
management coursework taken in the fourth year as elective credit towards
the Harpur degree, while also serving as the introductory coursework toward
the management degree. Students interested in this option will need to take
the GMAT exam and apply to the Graduate School during the junior year. Further
details are available from the Graduate Advisor in the SOM Advising Office.
It is critical for interested students to complete their Harpur major by
the end of the junior year, saving elective credits for the senior year.
Failure to do so will likely result in an inability to complete the program
in 5 years.
