Candidates for admission from other accredited colleges and universities must be in good standing in the college from which they are transferring (i.e., they cannot be on probation, suspension, or dismissal) and must meet the admission requirements as set by the Carl H. Lindner College of Business. Students who plan to attend a two-year college prior to their transfer to the college for the bachelor of business administration should complete a Pre-Business Associate of Arts degree program rather than a technical terminal program. The Lindner College of Business has transfer articulation agreements with UC Clermont College and UC Blue Ash, along with other community and technical colleges. Students planning to transfer from these colleges should maintain regular contact with the pre-business advisor on their campus to make sure they are taking the right classes to transfer to the Lindner College of Business.
Transfer Students
Transfer and transition students must provide an official transcript from each college or university attended, including work from other divisions of the University of Cincinnati. Students with fewer than the equivalent of 45 quarter hours of earned college-level course work must also supply high school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores. These students will be considered for admission as transfer students based on the relevant first-year admission criteria (including ACT or SAT scores, high school GPA and rank in class) and the applicable transfer admission requirements.
