Can Echols Scholars transfer to the McIntire School of Commerce?
Absolutely! The McIntire School is a great academic environment for Echols Scholars to continue their academic pursuits. However, because the Echols Scholars program is part of the College of Arts & Sciences, it offers no benefits for students enrolled in other schools. Although formal enrollment in the Echols program ends on transfer to the McIntire School, the only real impact Echols Scholars will experience on transferring to the McIntire School is loss of priority registration. Once enrolled in McIntire, priority registration is much less important due to the small size of the school and classes. The Echols notation from entry year will always remain on the transcript, and once selected for the Echols program, students will always be welcome at Echols events and alumni activities. E-mail the McIntire Undergraduate Student Services Office with any questions you may have or contact one of the Student Services Staff.
