*Beginning freshmen will be at a disadvantage if they have not completed at least one year each of high school biology and high school chemistry.

Once high school course work requirements are fulfilled, qualifications for admission are primarily determined by a combination of class rank at the end of the junior year with the highest ACT or SAT test score on file at the time of the admission decision. These two factors are used to predict an applicant's likelihood of academic success, and one may help to offset the other. For example, an applicant may compensate for a low test score with a high class rank.

Transfer applicants must have attained junior standing (60 semester hours of transferable credit) by the desired date of entry. Lower-division transfer students (less than 60 semester hours) must petition for admission. Admission is competitive, based upon cumulative grade-point average. The minimum transfer GPA requirement for the college is 2.75 (A = 4.0). go to top of page
