Admissions, Academics, and Finances
| Admission Requirements | A combination of Advanced Placement (AP) tests (scores of 4 or 5), Dual Enrollment (grades A or B), International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level subjects (scores of 6), Honors classes (grades A or B), and standardized test scores (SAT/ACT). Typically, three qualifications from these categories are required. If your school does not offer Advanced Placement curriculum or Dual Enrollment classes, we will consider students completing the US High School Diploma with Honors classes (or a combination of two Honors classes plus one ACT/SAT score) on a case-by-case basis. Your school must confirm that AP classes are not available, and you must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.2. Applicants with at least one year of an Associate or Bachelor’s degree (GPA 3.0–4.0) may also be considered, depending on the course. Additional subject requirements may apply.
