Campus Safety Infractions

The UBP Admissions Committee will review all Campus Safety Infractions (CSIs), including any provided explanation, to determine if conduct should be taken into consideration. If in doubt, it is always better to report any incident, including housing warnings or community standards violations, that could show up on our Campus Safety Audit. Documentation is not required, however, you should provide a detailed explanation within the text box provided. Our team will reach out if we have any additional questions or concerns.

Activities, Honors, and Experience (Form Sections)

We expect there may be overlap between your resume and the form-based sections of the application (activities, experience, and involvement). These form entries are intended to be less formal and offer space to include descriptions, responsibilities, and context that may not fit on a one-page resume. Students may use whatever format best supports their responses within these sections.

It is up to each student how far back to report their experiences; however, many choose to include meaningful involvement and work experience prior to university, particularly if space constraints limited what could be included on their resume.

Essays

Essay prompts may vary based on your selections within the application and may be presented as either short text boxes or uploaded responses. For example, applicants to programs such as Luther Hodges Scholars or TREBLE will see additional prompts under the Supplemental Programming section.

Essay Formatting

Essays submitted via uploaded material are suggested to be formatted single-spaced using 12-point font. Please include your last name and PID in the header or top right corner of each essay upload. Word or PDF are accepted. Aside from the formatting preferences stated above, applicants are encouraged to use their best judgement for additional questions related to formatting or file name convention.

Please view the application workshop video for some additional guidance. However, the UNC Writing Center should be the official source for writing support. Please see the plethora of online resources provided within their website.

Additional Information

The Additional Information essay should be used to share any extenuating circumstances or context that would help the admissions committee better understand your experience. This may include situations such as a loss, illness, or other challenges that have impacted your ability to perform in or outside the classroom.

How does TREBLE work?

Admitted TREBLE scholars take courses as a UNC cohort in the spring of their sophomore year. Beginning with the fall junior semester, the UNC TREBLE students are joined in Chapel Hill by TREBLE scholars from both SMU and CBS campuses. This cohort of 45 students live and study at SMU in the spring junior semester and at CBS in the fall senior semester. All students return to their home campus for classes and graduation in the spring of senior year.

Am I eligible for TREBLE?

TREBLE applicants must be accepted to the UBP as a BUSI Major apart from consideration to the TREBLE program.
The TREBLE application is only available to sophomore applicants to the major program, eligible for spring entry term (all prerequisites must be completed prior to the start of the spring semester)
Selected participants must be in residence (not studying abroad) for spring of their sophomore year

The TREBLE program entails an 18-month commitment with residency in Singapore and Denmark for two of the three semesters.

Applicants may only apply to either TREBLE or Luther Hodges Scholars.

How are TREBLE applicants evaluated?

Sophomore students pursuing the business major must apply through the business application. If you choose to apply for the TREBLE program, you will be prompted to complete an additional essay pertaining to your interest in TREBLE.

How do I know if I am selected for an interview?

Shortly after regular admissions decisions are released, you will receive a decision regarding your status as a TREBLE applicant. Should you be selected as a TREBLE finalist, you will be invited to participate in a mandatory additional interview process.
Selected TREBLE finalists will be invited to participate in a required interview process tentatively scheduled for the evening (5:00-7:00 PM ET) of Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

What should I expect in terms of the cost of TREBLE?

All UNC students selected for the TREBLE program are awarded a total of $8,000 in scholarships to help offset the costs of participation. If admitted to the program, you will receive $4,000 for the Singapore spring semester and $4,000 for the Copenhagen fall semester. Learn more.

Will I be at a disadvantage if I miss out on valuable on-campus recruitment opportunities while abroad?

The TREBLE program format has been in operation for 20 years and has allowed students to successfully network and interview for both internships and permanent employment during the 18-month format. While recruitment activities abroad require planning and communication, the opportunity to discuss studying business across three continents helps candidates stand out from the rest of the pool.

Can I pursue a Double Major, Minors or AOEs as a TREBLE Scholar?

All study options are possible, with prior planning and realistic expectations. TREBLE candidates should discuss the program's implications with both their main campus advisor and their Kenan-Flagler advisors to determine their individual action plan.

Can I receive a scholarship to participate in TREBLE?

All UNC students selected for the TREBLE program are awarded a total of $8,000 in scholarships to help offset the costs of participation. If admitted to the program, you will receive $4,000 for the Singapore spring semester and $4,000 for the Copenhagen fall semester. Learn more.

Luther Hodges Scholars

Please visit the Luther Hodges Scholars website for additional information on the evaluation process or program requirements and direct any questions to Phil Hardy at Phil_Hardy@kenan-flagler.unc.edu.

Where can I find the Resume template for the Undergraduate Business Program?

The resume templates (with tables and without) can be found on the Resume page within the application. Applicants should visit the UNC Career Center's online resources for additional resume support.

Can I use another template?

Students are advised to follow the UBP Required Template as closely as possible, but minor adjustments are anticipated. We encourage students to use their best judgement.

May I meet with an admissions counselor to have my resume reviewed?

We do not review applicant materials for coaching purposes. Applicants are encouraged to seek guidance from campus resources such as UNC Career Center and the UNC Writing Center. If you have quick questions for admissions, please join our virtual drop-ins. View our schedule or access drop-in sessions here.

I am unable to secure a quiet, private space with reliable internet access and would like to request video interview accommodations in either the McColl Building or Bell Hall.

Applicants are invited to join our Pre-Business Virtual Drop-In Hours throughout the summer. Find dates here.

However, please note that our Admissions Counselors will not be able to provide material support such as reviewing resumes or essays. If this is the type of support that you are seeking, please see the following suggested resources:
