A business major with no first-year row is not closed to freshmen; it means the campus reported no first-year applicants under that name, so freshmen enter as another business major and apply into that one later. At the UC campuses the rate shown is for the students who applied under that major, and at most campuses the admission decision is made by the campus rather than by the business school. Admits are not enrollees. At most UC programs students are admitted to the campus, not the major. This page as JSON → · Back to the 59 California colleges →

Every college, one row each

Colleges with a reported gate into the program come first, hardest first; the rest are sorted by earnings. Program admit rate is the college system's own number for this major (UC Information Center, CSU Chancellor's Office). Net price is the average paid by aid recipients; full price is the cost of attendance. Earnings are federal College Scorecard medians four years after the degree.
