For admission to the major, the preferred GPA is: 2.60 or better cumulative UMD overall GPA; 2.60 or better University of Minnesota cumulative GPA; 2.00 Pre-major Coursework GPA. Admission to candidacy status, which allows access to upper division LSBE classes, typically occurs at the end of the sophomore year when students have successfully completed all pre-major (pre-candidacy) course requirements and met all of the GPA standards.
