Admission Procedures for Freshmen

In order to provide a solid foundation for college-level work, it is recommended that the applicant present the equivalent of 16 academic units from an approved high school. The following units are suggested: English, 4; social studies, 2; science, 2; and mathematics, 3.

Approximately 90 percent of the freshman class enroll with an A or B high-school grade average. The Admissions Committee may offer provisional admission to students with lower high school grades or low entrance examination scores.
