Indicate a Business major on your KU application
Undergraduate business majors
Applicants accepted at KU with an interest in business are eligible for direct admission into the School of Business if they have an index score of greater than or equal to 5.55. The index score is calculated using a student’s high school GPA and ACT composite or SAT math and evidence-based reading and writing scores: (ACT/10) + HS GPA = index score.
Students should refer to the official ACT/SAT concordance table when comparing SAT scores to ACT scores.
