Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, thus, there is no hard end date. Once all seats in the program are filled, applications will no longer be considered. Students are encouraged to apply to the program as soon as possible as applications are currently being reviewed.

Application review has begun with the first round of decisions being released on January 30. However, students may not hear a decision until past January 30 as applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

If you are successfully admitted to the RBC program, our advisors will work to find a solution. There could potentially be exceptions for students if all other program requirements are fulfilled.

We will do our best to try to accommodate non-RBC roommate requests, however, we can not guarantee that all requests can be accommodated. If you do not request a roommate, the housing office will assign you a RBC roommate.

Students not participating in the RBC program will apply to Broad via the regular admissions process the semester they reach 28 credits and fulfill the designated requirements. At MSU New Student Orientation, an Academic Advisor will work with students to design a personalize schedule so they can become eligible to apply to the Broad College of Business. More details on the regular Broad admissions process can be found on the Broad College Undergraduate Admissions page.

Students will be required to fulfill academic milestones and leadership certificate requirements that will be outlined in their RBC contract if they are admitted to the RBC successfully.

Starting with the Fall, 2020 start class, students in the RBC program will be considered a direct admit to the Broad College of Business pending successful completion of the program. The RBC is designed as a living-learning community that hosts a variety of opportunities and events for its students. Students in the program will live in East McDonel hall their first year and have access to a variety of corporate networking events, business seminars, small reserved classroom sections, designated academic advisors, and professional development events.

By being a Direct Admit part of the Residential Business Community, students will not have to apply to the Broad College via the regular admissions process that typically takes place during the semester a student reaches 28 credits and fulfills the Broad application requirements. More details on the regular Broad admissions process can be found on the Broad College Undergraduate Admissions page.

No, not getting admitted to the RBC does not ruin your chances of being admitted to the Broad College late on. Unfortunately, we only have a limited number of seats in the program and are not able to take all applicants that apply.
