Undergraduate Requirements<\/h2>

The Office of Admission welcomes applications for first-year and transfer admission. The University seeks students destined to become future leaders in their chosen professions, whether in the arts, business, education, engineering, health, journalism, law, medicine or the sciences. In addition, the University welcomes students who believe in honesty, integrity, respect for self and others, take responsibility for their actions and are seeking opportunities to enhance the development of their character. In reviewing applications for the right fit, the University takes a holistic approach focusing on overall academic achievement, characteristics that demonstrate leadership potential and personal qualities indicative of the highest ethical values.<\/p>

High School students must complete at least four units of English, three units of college-preparatory mathematics, two units of foreign language, two units of social science, and two units in the natural sciences. The University recommends that candidates take the most rigorous academic program available in their schools, including at least five academic courses each year and AP, IB, and honors courses whenever possible.<\/p>

Test Optional Admission Policy<\/h3>

Students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.6 Unweighted or rank in the top 10 percent of their class, have the option to choose whether or not to submit standardized test scores (SAT or ACT).<\/strong><\/p>

Home-schooled applicants, students attending schools outside the United States, and students wishing to be considered for merit based scholarships must submit standardized test scores.<\/p>
