What Current Students Say See All 13 Comments >

The business program at Binghamton University functions a lot like its own, small college. Although it isn't very small, with the amount of group work and many interactions that people have with each other, whether it is in clubs or planning events, students know one another for the most part. Walking through the School of Management, I am always constantly saying hello to people that I know and am friends with.

Transfer Requirements
  • How internal transfers are handled Other
  • Min college GPA for transfers 3.5
  • Other transfer requirements Given intense competition for internal transfer into the School of Management, a Binghamton GPA of 3.5 is NOT a guarantee of admission by itself. Grades in math and economics courses and level of student at the time of application (i.e. sophomore, junior, etc) are also components in the decision, along with the GPAs of applicants. In simple terms, the best of those applying up to the maximum that can be accommodated are accepted, and the actual GPA cut-off can be higher than 3.5.
