• What does it mean to be a Pre-Business student at CHASS?

  Pre-Business is a two-year program hosted within UCR’s College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHASS) department to prepare students to apply to the Business Administration major at the School of Business. Students who enter UCR as freshmen initially enroll and are advised in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHASS) with a Pre-Business status. The College breadth requirements and the prerequisites for a Business Administration major are completed during the freshman (year 1) and sophomore years (year 2). An application for a Business Administration major change can be submitted once all admission requirements are satisfied. Upon acceptance, students become Business Administration majors and are then advised in the School of Business, Undergraduate Programs office for their Business Administration major.
