Admission requirements vary by college and curriculum. Decisions about freshman admission are based primarily on high school courses and grades, performance on the ACT or SAT, and high school rank. Applicants to the School of Music must also pass an audition. Admission to the School of Nursing is a two step process with the new freshmen being admitted to the Lower Level Division and then reapplying to the more competitive Upper Division as a junior. because all Allied Health programs require prerequisites, freshmen students would initially apply to the College of Arts and Sciences to complete these courses.
