Application information
Find out about requirements, fees, and deadlines
First Year applicants are reviewed largely based on high school GPA in a college-prep curriculum, standardized test scores (if submitted), a personal recommendation, and a personal statement presenting your ability to effectively form and articulate thoughts in writing. We accept both SAT and the ACT scores, and also grant college credit for Advanced Placement test scores.
Transfer applicants should have a minimum 2.75 transferable GPA and a preferred completion of 30 transferable units. If you have less than 30 units your final high school transcripts will also be used in the admission decision. Completion of freshman English (college level) with a grade of "C" or better as well as successful completion of intermediate algebra is required.
Additional Information
As a student, we will encourage you to ask hard questions and make your own decisions. To tackle the fundamental issues with courage. To choose for yourself whether the information you encounter meets the tests of knowledge and truth. The perspective you gain will allow you to lead a life filled with meaning far beyond the work you choose to do.
