Undergraduate education is strongly emphasized, and admissions are very competitive. The median ACT composite score of entering freshmen is 27, and more than 25 percent of these students ranked in the top 3 percent of their high school classes. The majority of transfer students enter the University with 4.0 grade-point averages (A = 5.0).
Approximately 100 freshmen are selected annually to join the Campus Honors Program as Chancellor's Scholars. The program fosters close, collaborative relationships between top students and distinguished faculty members through special honors sections, faculty mentors, and summer research opportunities.
Most undergraduate students receive baccalaureate degrees after four years, and many go on to advanced study in the humanities, the sciences, the social sciences, and various professional fields. Typically, 80 percent of the graduates who apply to law school are accepted; 65 percent are accepted to medical school.
