A calculus level math that is equivalent to MATH 2471 may also be used in place of MATH 1329.

Your overall GPA needs to be as high as possible since admission will be based on college coursework once you complete 30 hours. Make sure that you meet the application deadline. 
• If you are a sophomore or higher, then prior to the admission decision you should have been working on courses from the general education core curriculum, lower-level business core, and business minor.  Courses on the minor and many courses in the general education core may be applied towards an alternative degree program/major.  Current Texas State students that wish to continue pursuing McCoy College admission should meet with an advisor at the University College or McCoy College to determine the best strategy for raising their GPA.
