Planning Ahead

A smooth transition to UGA requires careful preparation and attention to detail. The Terry College is considered high-demand and has a major admissions process, so we hope the following information and resources will help you make informed decisions before you apply to UGA.

Timeline

Step 1 - Apply to UGA as an Intended Business major.

Step 2 - Attend UGA Orientation to be advised and learn more about the Terry major admissions process and application eligibility requirements. 

Step 3 - Apply to a Terry Major once you meet all eligibility requirements (typically around sophomore year). This is a competitive process, and your application will be evaluated based on specific selection criteria

Step 4 – Receive your admissions decision mid-semester and meet with your advisor. Students not admitted to their first- or second-choice major can choose to reapply or pursue another major at UGA.

Step 5 – Begin your major coursework the following semester.

Terry Direct: UGA students in good standing with the Honors College who apply to a Terry College of Business major are guaranteed their first choice of a first (primary) major with the Terry College. This guarantee does not apply to second, double or co-majors.
