Admission Requirements for Freshmen
For freshmen applicants, the high school record is the most important
factor in determining admission to the College. The admission process takes
into consideration the pattern and quality of course selection, grades and class
rank, standardized test scores, an essay, secondary school recommendation,
and participation in extracurricular activities. Although a campus visit is not
required as a part of the admission process, it is highly recommended.
All freshmen applicants are required to submit score results from the SAT
or the ACT. For most applicants the College does not have an established cutoff
score for either the SAT or the ACT; however, the middle 50% of the 2012
freshman class scored between 1060 and 1180 on the SAT, and between 22 and
25 on the ACT. The Admissions Committee therefore strongly recommends
that applicants earn a score above 500 on the critical reading, mathematics,
and writing sections of the SAT; or a score above 21 on all four sub-sections of
the ACT. In addition, the College imposes a minimum testing requirement for
students planning to major in education. All Education majors must have a
combined score (critical reading plus mathematics) of at least 1010 on a single
administration of the SAT or a composite score of at least 21 on the ACT.
Freshmen applicants must complete a minimum of 16 units in grades 9 through
12. While a prescribed course of study is not required, prospective students are
advised to take four years of English, four years of mathematics (to include Algebra
I, Algebra II and Geometry), three years of science (one laboratory science), and
four years of social studies and academic electives. Applicants should realize that
the aforementioned courses represent the minimum preparation and are not
necessarily considered satisfactory or recommended preparation for college-level
work in every undergraduate area of study.
Entrance Examinations
or the ACT. In addition to using the results to evaluate applicants for admission,
the scores are used in course selection and placement. Applicants will receive no
more than 30 semester hours of advanced standing based on CLEP, IB, AICE and/
or AP Tests.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Individuals seeking admission with advanced standing may submit the results
of the General Examinations offered by the College Level Examination Program.
