Upon successful completion of the program, students are fully admitted to Bellarmine for the fall semester. For more information, click here.
Bellarmine is Test Optional, but for students who choose to submit test scores: 50th Percentile ACT Range is 22-27 and SAT range is 1060-1260.
We offer rolling admission and the ability to transfer in any semester.

Our daily campus visit is a great way to see what the true Bellarmine experience feels like. Part presentation, part trolley ride and part breathtaking scenery, our campus tour is unlike any other school you will visit.
Start with a brief information session with your admission counselor and see the school with one of our student tour guides. You will ride the famous Bellarmine trolley instead of walking the hills. Reserve your spot to visit us today!
I built so many amazing connections and relationships with many of the professors I had here. They really created a space that made me comfortable to ask questions and made me excited to learn. I never really felt either that I couldn’t succeed due to the time and effort they were all willing to offer.
