Transfer Admission Criteria

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

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

Although a 2.0 GPA is required for admission consideration, the following Programs have higher admission criteria:

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

Applicants must maintain a minimum GPA of a 2.00 on the final official college transcript. Applicants not offered admission to their first choice major will have an opportunity to choose another major.
