Admission to LEE and Applying to the Major

Upon admission to UNLV and to Lee Business School (LEE), all eligible students are classified as pre-major business students. While classified as such, students must complete the pre-major courses required by LEE, as well as general-education courses, which are defined by UNLV. To enroll in most upper-division business courses (300- or 400- level), students must first have been admitted to a full business major.

For details about LEE’s admission requirements as a pre-major business student, see the LEE section of the Undergraduate Catalog.

After completing pre-major requirements, then students apply to a specific full business major. The rest of the information on this page explains the pre-major requirements and the process of applying for a full business major.
