Concentration Requirement for Costello College of Business
Admitted Costello College of Business students must declare a concentration within their first academic year at the university.
- Students admitted as Freshmen must declare a concentration by the end of their first academic year.
- Students admitted as Transfer must declare a concentration by the end of their first semester.
Students can choose between eight different concentrations. Learn more about Concentration options. Changing concentrations is a simple process that can be approved by an Advisor after the initial declaration. Students are encouraged to consult with a Business Academic Advisor regarding changes and can schedule appointments or come to drop-ins with our team of Academic Advisors. Learn more about Undergraduate Academic Advising Services.
Deadline for Concentration Declaration
Students who do not declare concentration by the degree conferral date for the appropriate semester (first semester for Transfer, second semester for Freshmen) will receive a registration hold on their account that will prevent them making changes to their current schedule or registering for the next semester until a concentration is declared.
Current Mason students who are switching their major to the Costello College of Business must declare a concentration upon changing their major.
