In many programs, particularly in professional and scientific disciplines, students are required to complete specific courses before being considered for admission to these programs. Generally, these courses are taken during the first two years of study as necessary preparation for the advanced work required. Students seeking admission to these programs may have to spend additional time completing pre-major courses. Honors College First-time students may apply for admission to the Honors College. Applicants are expected to have an academic diploma with an average of at least 90.
Admission is limited and competitive.
A diploma from an accredited high school is required for admission to the College. Scores on either the New York State Equivalency Diploma Examination or the General Education Development Examination are accepted as substitutes for the high school diploma provided that the student attains a score of 35 or higher on each of the five tests, with a total score of 225 or higher. Transfer Students Applicants who have attended another college must file a transfer application. Applications for matriculation will be accepted from transfer students who have an official transcript verifying attendance at another college. As a general rule, the College requires a grade point average equivalent to a C for transfer as a matriculated student.
