First In Business

Why the First in Business (FIB) Program?

First in Business is a program for incoming first-generation Ryan College of Business students that will make our college significantly more accessible and increase overall success rates for our most deserving scholars, while also generating a culture of high achievement and high professional aspirations.

The program will consist of a yearly cohort of 25-30 students (extending to up to 120 concurrent participants) that will be provided with a range of benefits from freshman to senior year. To ensure the program is accepting students who have demonstrated the initiative necessary to succeed, admission will require a minimum high school GPA of 3.3 and an interview process. Letters of recommendation are optional, but strongly encouraged.
