DARLA MOORE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

System transfer students can apply for the summer and fall terms only. Students must have at least 30 semester hours at the point of application. However, please note that admission into the Darla Moore School of Business is very competitive, and students who meet the minimum 3.25 GPA and calculus requirement are not guaranteed admission.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions carefully evaluates each application in consideration with the enrollment goals of the Darla Moore School of Business. In previous years, students below a 3.5 GPA were generally not competitive for admission. Please note students who have not completed USC's MATH 122 (or its transfer equivalent) at the time of application will not be considered for admission into the Darla Moore School of Business. System transfer admission decisions for the Darla Moore School of Business will be made in mid-May for summer applicants and no earlier than late June for fall applicants.
