Prospective Undergraduate Students
Statistics
Our undergraduate business student population averages between 2,800 and
2,900 students. Smith exemplifies diversity; almost 42% of our students are
female. The average incoming GPA is over 3.9, with an average SAT score of
1360.
During their freshman year, all Smith undergraduate students begin working
on a broad core of business courses including public speaking, accounting,
calculus and economics. In addition to specialized coursework, upper level
required classes for all undergraduate business students include business
law, management and organizational theory, finance and marketing. Thus,
graduating undergraduate Smith students are not only exceptionally prepared
for work in their chosen field, they are big-picture, independent thinkers
who can truly lead through innovation and excellence.
