There are two main ways to gain admission to Shidler as an undergraduate:
-
Freshman Admission (Direct Admit Program)
For admission directly from high school into Shidler College of Business as a first-year/freshman student
-
Upper-level / Transfer Student Admission
These applicants are current (or former) undergraduate students who have met the Shidler Admissions Requirements, so it could include UH Mānoa undergraduates (often Exploratory Business students, but students from any major are eligible), UH System students (UH Community Colleges, UH West Oahu, UH Hilo), students from other colleges and universities across the United States and around the world, and second-bachelors-degree seekers*.
-
Applicants who are not current students at UH Mānoa must first apply to UH Mānoa and then apply to Shidler.
-
Applicants must complete all Shidler College of Business admission requirements the semester before entering the college^.
-
Applicants who are still enrolled in pre-business core classes at the time of application but who meet all other requirements would be issued a tentative decision that will be finalized when final semester grades are posted.
-
^There is a limited exception for a prospective student seeking Fall admission to complete a requirement in Summer Session I at UH Mānoa

*If you have already completed either (a) a degree in business (or related major) or (b) a business minor, you would not be eligible for admission to Shidler College of Business's BBA program. UH Mānoa students who have been admitted to the Business minor (even if they have not completed it) would also not be eligible to apply for the BBA.
Students should also note the curriculum and degree requirements necessary for graduation.
