Admission Information

Admission to ESU:
Students must be admitted to Emporia State University to qualify for admission to the EBIZ (Emporia Business) Program. Students may apply for ESU admission by contacting the Admissions Office at 1-877-468-6378, or by visiting the website at http://www.emporia.edu/admissions/.

Paper copies of application forms are available upon request. Along with the application for admission, students must send an application and registration fee of $40. Transfer students will also need to include official transcripts. Once a student has been admitted to ESU, they will receive an acceptance letter, and may then enroll in classes. Transfer students will also receive an official transcript analysis form that will tell them which general education classes have been accepted and applied toward their ESU Business Administration program.

Application Process

• Online Application
• Tuition / Costs
• Financial Aid
• Scholarships & Business School Scholarships

 

Financial Aid:
Financial Aid is available from both BCC for the General Education portion of the program and from ESU for the Business Administration of the program. Students who are taking classes from both BCC and ESU at the same time may qualify for joint financial aid. Students need to contact both financial aid offices to find out more information.

  

Transfer Information

Transfer agreements:
Butler Community College and ESU have a long-standing articulation agreement that specifies which BCC courses will transfer as general education requirements to the ESU program. The transfer agreement/course equivalency list is available at the following website: http://www.emporia.edu/regist/com/ Questions about the General Education classes or about an Associate’s Degree from BCC need to be directed to the BCC counselors.

Dual enrollment:
Under the new lock-step Cohort Program, dual enrollment is not encouraged. Students should try to complete BCC classes (or at least within 6 hours) before entering the ESU program. If a student has a couple of classes left when entering the ESU program, the student may apply for financial aid to be split between the two schools. ESU and BCC work cooperatively to assist the student when this situation occurs.

Second Degree and Transfer Students:
When space is available, students may transfer into the program from another university or community college and do not have to complete their associates degree from BCC. If transfer students still need to take a few general education classes, they may do so at BCC or at another community college.
