Make strides toward your future when you apply.

Admission Requirements

To apply for admission to the Accelerated Bachelor’s Degree program you will need:

  • A completed application for admission to an Accelerated Bachelor’s Degree program.
  • Official transcripts from all colleges or universities you have attended. Your most recent college transcript must indicate that you are in good standing and have earned at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale. (The Admission Committee reserves the right to evaluate applicants on an individual basis or request additional information when prior college transcripts do not reflect a 2.0 cumulative GPA.)
  • If you have completed fewer than 15 semester hours of credit, or you have not completed one semester at full-time status, you’ll need to provide your final high school transcript with graduation date. An official high school transcript is also required if the college from which the credit was earned does not have regional accreditation. If you have not completed high school, you must provide documentation of your successful completion of the GED.
