Application to the Wisconsin School of Business Undergraduate Program

All applicants, including those applying for junior and sophomore admission, will be required to complete the following components of our application:

  1. Essay responses (250 words maximum per question) related to each of the following topics:
    • Motivation to pursue a business major
    • Experience with leadership and/or teamwork
    • Ethics in business or personal experiences
    • Other factors that should be taken into consideration - for example, major extenuating personal circumstances. This question is optional and will not negatively affect admissibility if no response is entered.
  2. Student Involvement Record
    • Any extracurricular activities relevant to business admission (for example, student organizations, work experience, volunteer work, etc.)
    • Provide brief descriptions (a few sentences or bullet points) and reference information for each activity
    • The Admissions Committee focuses primarily on student involvement at UW-Madison or another postsecondary institution. Involvement in high school activities is welcomed but should not comprise the majority of the Student Involvement Record.

The application period is now closed.
