Transfer Admission Criteria

A minimum of 12 college credits with a 2.0 or higher GPA is required for admission consideration.  

Applicants with fewer than 12 college credits are considered freshmen in the application process, and will be evaluated using a combination of official college GPA, high school record, and SAT/ACT scores for admission consideration.

Although a 2.0 GPA is required for general admission consideration, the following “Special Admission Programs” have higher admission criteria:

• Computer Science/Computer Security
• Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management
• Nursing
• Recreation Services Management
• Rehabilitative Services
• Speech-Language Pathology
• Sport Management
• Teacher Education Programs

More information can be found at www.esu/transfer under “Admission to Special Programs.”

A combined GPA is calculated for applicants who have attempted credits at multiple institutions. Applicants must maintain a cumulative minimum GPA of a 2.00 on the final official college transcript. Applicants not offered admission to a “Special Admission Program” will have an opportunity to choose another major.
