First-year

Every application is reviewed individually to determine potential for academic and career success. The admissions evaluation considers such factors as cumulative grade point average, test scores if submitted, and class rank, but recent academic improvement, life challenges, and strong motivation are also considered.

We require:
A completed online application
An official high school transcript, home school completion certificate, or Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED) and any college transcripts.
We are SAT or ACT Optional. We will evaluate applicants based on the application and the high school transcript alone if scores are not submitted.

Transfer

Goldey-Beacom College welcomes students who transfer from other accredited colleges and universities. Whether you have attended one school or several, we review all your transcripts to help you choose the degree that allows you to maximize your transfer credit. We are a “Transfer-Friendly” institution, and we award the same amount of merit scholarships as we award to first-year students.
