  • Completion of the following classes with competitive letter grades (B听or higher):
    • Microeconomics
    • Macroeconomics
    • Statistics (business statistics strongly preferred; general Statistics also accepted)

Tip: Use to confirm that your economics classes transfer to CU as ECON 2010 (Micro) and ECON 2020 (Macro), and that your statistics class will transfer as BCOR 1025 (the Leeds business statistics class). You can meet the admissions requirement with a transferrable statistics class that isn鈥檛 equivalent to BCOR 1025, but you will still need to take BCOR 1025 if you enroll here. See the FAQ below, for an explanation of why only certain statistics classes count toward the Leeds degree requirements.

    • Transferology shows the transfer equivalencies for CU credit, but it doesn鈥檛 exactly how the credits count toward the business degree. Some of our core courses (e.g., BCOR 2301, Business Law) are only 1.5 credits, so if you take BUS 216, Legal Environment of Business, in the Colorado Community College System, you transfer in 1.5 credits for BCOR 2301 and 1.5 credits of business electives.
  • You can work with the advisor at your Community College, and we also encourage you to ask questions of the transfer advisor at Leeds. The Leeds advisor will help you understand how the classes you are taking will transfer and apply to your Leeds degree.

Leeds transfer student FAQ鈥檚

Many of our introductory business classes are 1.5 credits and only meet for 8 weeks.If you have transfer credit for these classes, your credit will be split so that you get 1.5 credit for the BCOR class, and 1.5 credits (or more depending on the class you are transferring in) for business electives. The full credits count toward your degree.
