College Admission Requirements

Undergraduate admission is open to high school graduates, those who have earned the State Equivalency Certificate, and, in some cases, those who qualify for the equivalency certificate upon completion of 24 college credits. As academic and technical requirements vary by degree program, an interview with an undergraduate admissions and financial aid counselor is recommended.

Prospective students who completed secondary education outside of the U.S. may present national school leaving certificates (including: CXC, GCE, “O” and “A” levels, Bagrut, Abitur, IB, Attestat, French Baccalaureate, etc.) for consideration. An evaluation by a NACES-approved agency may be required to determine a foreign credential’s authenticity and equivalency in the U.S.
