START from day one

Pamplin prides itself on getting its undergraduates started on their first day!  Once accepted, students do not need to reapply at a later date, and freshmen can take business courses during their first semester.  Students at other business schools often have to wait until their sophomore or junior year to take classes for their major, but freshmen at Virginia Tech are enrolled in the core business classes upon being accepted!

Pamplin takes pride in allowing students to begin their undergraduate business degree from Day One! Accepted students start core business courses in their first semester, unlike many other schools where students wait until their second or third year to apply for admission into the business school.

To make freshman year easier, the college offers a peer mentoring program where upperclassmen meet and advise new students to foster a positive experience.  The program also has workshops tailored towards choosing a major and preparing a resume for internships.

To help ease the difficult transition to college, the Pamplin Undergraduate Mentoring Program (PUMP) provides first-year students with a peer mentoring experience. Upperclassmen meet and advise first-year students, fostering a well-rounded undergraduate experience. The program also offers workshops focused on choosing a major and preparing resumes for internships.
