Paul College Pre-Business is a one semester (fall only) program for first-year, academically promising students who have been identified as needing a bit of extra help in math.
During your first semester you will take 5 courses – one in math, one in economics, and two discovery courses – as well as enroll in the Freshman Academic Experience, what we call FIRE! Upon successful completion of this first semester you can officially declare a Paul College major.
