Eighteen Illinois universities hold AACSB-accredited business schools, from the Gies College of Business at Urbana-Champaign to Governors State, and this page lists the SAT and ACT scores of the students they admit, what each costs a New York student, and what it takes to enter Gies after the university says yes.
Twelve report an SAT range and eleven an ACT range, so the table leads with the SAT.
At Urbana-Champaign a student is admitted to Gies as a freshman or applies once, the next spring, to a pool that takes about a third and does not read the SAT.

Illinois Business Colleges by SAT and ACT Score
Illinois’s eighteen AACSB-accredited business schools run from the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with a Math range of 660 to 780, to six universities that report no range at all, and the table below lists each with its SAT and ACT ranges where reported, cost of attendance, enrollment and admit rate. Eleven are public and seven private, twelve report an SAT range, and the rows are sorted by the midpoint of the SAT Math range, with ties broken on the ACT composite midpoint and the six non-reporters following in order of enrollment, so the order can be checked from the table itself.

A student can see where his Math score sits on this ladder in the image above.
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign awards its business degrees through the Gies College of Business, and Urbana-Champaign reports the highest Math range on this page, 660 to 780, admits 42% of applicants to the university and charges a New Yorker $35,124.
Reading & Writing 650 to 740, Math 660 to 780. ACT composite 30 to 34. The top quarter of admitted students scored at or above 780 on Math and 34 on the ACT. Cost of attendance $33,642, with tuition and fees at $16,004 in-state and $35,124 out-of-state. 36,258 undergraduates, 42% admitted.
Urbana-Champaign’s 660 floor is 70 points above IIT’s 590 and 20 below UIC’s 680 ceiling, and its 30 to 34 on the ACT is the only range on the page that starts at 30. The 42% is the university’s rate, and the Scorecard does not separate Gies’s own, the subject of the next section. The cost of attendance in the table is a resident’s. A non-resident’s comes to approximately $52,762 once the higher tuition is substituted, and the $35,124 that drives it is $952 above what the University of Alabama charges a New Yorker and $8,588 below UConn’s figure.
Illinois Institute of Technology
The Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago awards its business degrees through the Stuart School of Business, and IIT reports the second highest Math range on the page, 590 to 720, on 2,833 undergraduates, the smallest campus among the top five rows.

UIC’s 680 Math ceiling is the second highest on the page, and its 22,170 undergraduates make it the second largest campus after Urbana-Champaign. The cost of attendance in the table is a resident’s. A non-resident’s comes to approximately $43,067 with the higher tuition substituted, and the $29,884 that drives it is $5,240 below Urbana-Champaign’s, with a premium of $15,546 over a resident.
DePaul University
DePaul University in Chicago awards its business degrees through the Driehaus College of Business, and DePaul is the largest private university on the page, with 14,090 undergraduates, and reports a Math range of 560 to 660.

Illinois State’s 590 Math ceiling matches Springfield’s and SIUE’s, and its 490 floor is 30 points above both. The cost of attendance in the table is a resident’s. A non-resident’s comes to approximately $46,375 with the higher tuition substituted, and the $28,210 that drives it is $110 below what the University of Idaho charges a New Yorker, with a premium of $12,066 over a resident.
University of Illinois Springfield
The University of Illinois Springfield awards its business degrees through its College of Business and Management, and Springfield reports the same Math range as SIU Edwardsville, 460 to 590, and sits above it in the table on its ACT midpoint alone.

Eastern Illinois University
Eastern Illinois University in Charleston awards its business degrees through the Lumpkin College of Business and Technology, and Eastern Illinois is the one row on the page that reports an SAT range and no ACT range.
Reading & Writing 460 to 560, Math 420 to 530. Eastern Illinois reports no ACT range. The top quarter of admitted students scored at or above 530 on Math. Cost of attendance $26,996, with tuition and fees at $13,679 in-state and $16,217 out-of-state. 4,188 undergraduates, 65% admitted.
Eastern Illinois’s $16,217 for a New Yorker is $2,538 above its resident figure, the smallest premium on the page among the publics that charge one, and the second smallest in this series after Henderson State’s $2,376. Its 420 to 530 on Math is the lowest reported range on the page, and it admits 65%.
Northern Illinois University
Northern Illinois University in DeKalb awards its business degrees through its College of Business, and NIU is the largest row that reports no score range, with 11,301 undergraduates, and has charged every U.S. student the same tuition since its board dropped the out-of-state premium in 2017, $13,248 this year.
Score ranges not reported. Cost of attendance $28,851, with tuition and fees at $13,248 for every student, resident or not. 11,301 undergraduates, 70% admitted.
NIU’s board dropped the out-of-state premium for U.S. residents in October 2017, and the Scorecard’s resident and non-resident figures have matched since [VERIFY the current NIU tuition page]. Four years of tuition is $52,992, and NIU admits 70%.

Eighteen rows say who got into the university. The next section is about the one spring in which an Urbana-Champaign student who is not already in Gies gets to ask.
What Does It Take to Enter the Gies College of Business?
A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign student enters the Gies College of Business as a freshman admitted directly to the college or through Intercollegiate Transfer in the spring of his first year, with 24 graded hours, four named courses and priority at a 3.0, into a pool that admits about 35% of those who apply.
The Gies Intercollegiate Transfer page, ICT for short, sets the terms for a student already enrolled at Illinois in another college. He must have “completed at least 24 graded credit hours at Illinois by the end of your first spring semester.” By the end of that same spring he must have finished Composition I, ECON 102 (ACE 100 substitutes), ECON 103 and one of MATH 115, 220, 221, 231, 234 or STAT 100, taken at Illinois, elsewhere, or earned through AP or IB credit. Three levels of a language other than English, CMN 101 and CS 105 are recommended, and the page gives priority to a student with the three language levels or a passed proficiency exam. A student with “an overall 3.0 GPA or above” at the end of spring receives priority admission [VERIFY every item on the Gies ICT page for the current cycle].
Priority is the page’s word, and the next sentence takes most of it back. Admission is not guaranteed “due to space limitations and the strength of the applicant pool each year,” and about 35% of ICT applicants are admitted in a normal year. The fall 2026 deadline was May 20, 2026, decisions come in late June, and a Gies program must then be finished within nine full-time semesters. The application carries several essays and a holistic review.
The university’s own ICT process page adds four sentences that matter more to a New York family than the course list. “A competitive application process is used to admit students.” “Students apply for ICT during the spring semester their freshman year.” “Only college-level coursework and grades will be considered for academic review.” And: “High school grades and ACT/SAT/TOEFL scores are not factors.” A student who has completed more than two semesters at Illinois cannot apply, and neither can a student who entered as an off-campus transfer. The window is one spring.
The wide door is the freshman application. Gies admits most of its students directly from high school, through the university application with Gies as the first-choice college, and the Scorecard does not separate the college’s admit rate from the university’s 42% [VERIFY on the Gies freshman admission page and quote any profile or share it gives]. UIC’s College of Business Administration and Illinois State’s College of Business admit business majors on the university application, and neither catalog was read for this page for a later gate [VERIFY both].
Set against the earlier pages, Gies’s second door is a different kind of door. On our page on business colleges in Georgia, Terry reads a student’s SAT or ACT a second time when he applies to his major. On our page on business colleges in Idaho, Boise State’s gate is a 2.5 across nine courses and nothing else, and the FAQ says it cannot be waived, so a student who hits it is in. Gies does neither. It does not read the score, and hitting the 3.0 earns a place in line, not a seat. Two of three applicants in that line are turned away.
| Door | Who | What Gies asks | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freshman admission | A high school senior naming Gies on the university application | The university application with Gies as first choice [VERIFY any stated profile] | Gies’s own rate is not separated from the university’s 42% in the Scorecard [VERIFY] |
| Intercollegiate Transfer | A first-year Illinois student in another college, once, in spring | 24 graded hours at Illinois, Composition I, ECON 102 and 103, one calculus or statistics course, essays, by the May deadline. Language levels I to III, CMN 101 and CS 105 recommended |
The image above shows the two doors into Gies and how far each one opens.
Does a 3.0 Guarantee Admission to Gies Through ICT?
No, a 3.0 does not guarantee admission to the Gies College of Business through Intercollegiate Transfer, because the Gies page gives a 3.0 priority and says admission is not guaranteed due to space limitations and the strength of the applicant pool, and about 35% of applicants are admitted.
The test score does not help either. The university’s ICT page says high school grades and ACT and SAT scores are not factors, so the 1500 that opened the first door is not read at the second. The application is open for one spring, closed after two semesters, and decided in late June on college grades, four courses and essays [VERIFY].
One spring, a 3.0 for priority, one in three. Which schools hold the accreditation is the next section.
Which Illinois Universities Have AACSB-Accredited Business Schools?
Eighteen Illinois universities hold business accreditation from AACSB International, eleven public and seven private, and the list below names each with its city and the school that awards the business degree [VERIFY all eighteen on the AACSB directory before publishing].
- University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in Champaign awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Gies College of Business.
- University of Illinois Chicago in Chicago awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business Administration.
- Illinois State University in Normal awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business.
- University of Illinois Springfield in Springfield awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business and Management.
- Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in Edwardsville awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited School of Business.
- Southern Illinois University-Carbondale in Carbondale awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business and Analytics.
- Eastern Illinois University in Charleston awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Lumpkin College of Business and Technology.
- Northern Illinois University in DeKalb awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business.
- Western Illinois University in Macomb awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business and Technology.
- Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business and Management.
- Governors State University in University Park awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited College of Business.

- Loyola University Chicago in Chicago awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Quinlan School of Business.
- DePaul University in Chicago awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Driehaus College of Business.
- North Central College in Naperville awards its business degrees through its AACSB-accredited School of Business and Entrepreneurship (accredited April 2026).
- Dominican University in River Forest awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Brennan School of Business.
- Bradley University in Peoria awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Foster College of Business.
- Saint Xavier University in Chicago awards its business degrees through the AACSB-accredited Graham School of Management.
Accreditation matters for a reason that is easy to miss at seventeen. Business itself is not a licensed profession, and the one business degree that leads to a license, accounting, leads to it through the state board rather than through the school. A CPA in Illinois normally needs 150 semester hours, the Uniform CPA Examination, an ethics exam and a year of experience until January 1, 2027, and after that date one of three pathways that trade a master’s degree, a second year of experience or 30 extra hours against one another [VERIFY on the board’s page]. AACSB status matters on the way there because business schools use it to decide whose courses they will accept in transfer.
Two Illinois business schools a New York family names first are not rows. Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management in Evanston and the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business hold AACSB accreditation for graduate schools that award no undergraduate business degree, and this series leaves graduate-only schools off the table, as it did Yale, UCLA Anderson and the Stanford GSB. Northwestern reports a Math range of 770 to 800, admits 8% and charges every student $68,322, and the bachelor’s degrees the Scorecard files under business at Northwestern come from a school other than Kellogg [VERIFY which program]. Chicago State University in Chicago holds business accreditation from the ACBSP, charges every student $12,754 and admits 43%, and Roosevelt University holds ACBSP accreditation, charges $21,315 and admits 97%. Illinois Wesleyan, Millikin, Lewis, Elmhurst, Olivet Nazarene and Aurora award business degrees under the ACBSP or no business accreditor [VERIFY each]. None of the ten is a row.
Nothing on this page ranks the eighteen. They are eleven public universities and seven private with the same accreditor, one pool at Gies, five prices that do not change at the state line and thirteen that do, and the pages for business colleges in Wisconsin, business colleges in Indiana and business colleges in Missouri carry the schools a student looking at Illinois is likely comparing.
What If Your Scores Are Below the Range You Want?
In Illinois the flagship’s floors are 660 on Math and 30 on the ACT, IIT’s are 590 and 26, UIC’s 560 and 25, and six rows publish none. A student under the floor he wants is not ruled out, because a quarter of admitted students were there too. He is in the quarter that needs the rest of the application to carry more.
The first step is finding out where the score actually is, section by section. A free diagnostic SAT gives a Math score that can be set directly against UIC’s 560 floor and Urbana-Champaign’s 660.
The Math section rewards the same handful of topics on every test date, and a student who knows which of them he is missing can close a gap of 50 to 100 points in weeks rather than months. The method is on our page on improving your SAT Math score, and at Urbana-Champaign the same algebra fills the calculus or statistics course, MATH 115, 220, 221, 231, 234 or STAT 100, that Gies asks a student to finish before the ICT application.
How to Read These Score Ranges
Each range in the table covers the middle 50% of admitted students who submitted that test, so a quarter of admitted students were below the lower number and a quarter were at or above the upper one.
A range describes the students who chose to submit at all. Where a school is test-optional, the range describes the submitters, and the submitters are the students whose scores helped them. A row marked not reported means the Scorecard has no range for that university, and a student should read the university’s own admissions page for the score it expects. More on what SAT score you need for college and on test-optional colleges.
Should You Take the ACT Instead?
Illinois gives the SAT to its public school juniors as the state test [VERIFY current Illinois statewide testing], and eleven of the twelve reporting rows report both tests.
A New York student who holds an SAT should send it everywhere in Illinois and leave the ACT alone unless a school elsewhere asks for it. Nothing at Gies’s second door reads either test.
Business Programs in Nearby States
