Admission to a bachelor's degree program is based upon successful completion of a strong secondary school program of college preparatory coursework. Primary consideration is given to the academic record, as demonstrated by the quality of candidates' secondary school course selections and achievement, recommendations and the results of a Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT Reasoning Test) or results from American College Testing program (ACT). Consideration is also given to character, initiative, leadership and special talents.
