Students Applying for Texas State Admission and McCoy College Admission (Not yet Admitted to Texas State)

  2. Apply online at www.applytexas.org and follow procedures for admission provided by Undergraduate Admissions.  List your first choice major as one of the business majors.  The Apply Texas application serves as both the application to Texas State and McCoy College for students not currently attending Texas State.
  3. Check the status of your Texas State application online at www.admission.txstate.edu.  The Office of Undergraduate Admissions notifies applicants by letter of their admission to Texas State and McCoy College.

Important notes:

  • Transfer students who have not completed all courses required to be considered for admission to McCoy College may still be considered for admission to Texas State.
  • A student who is admitted to Texas State but denied admission to McCoy College will be considered for admission to his/her second choice major or as undecided. The student may apply to McCoy College via the current student process once they are attending Texas State. 
  • If you are seeking a second bachelor's degree, please refer to the procedures at the bottom of this page.
