Students are placed in a mathematics course appropriate for their experience and aptitude. Upon completing the A.A. degree, Hillyer students are guaranteed admission into a baccalaureate program within the University with full junior status.
Several programs have additional requirements for admission.
The education minor requires a 2.5 GPA or better for acceptance. The occupational therapy and physical therapy programs require a 3.0 GPA or better for acceptance. Art and music majors require portfolio review and auditions, respectively. These majors also may take longer to complete after leaving Hillyer because they are so subject-specific in the first and second years. When selecting electives, students should work with advisors in order to learn of requirements of the baccalaureate program to which they plan to transfer after Hillyer, and to use Hillyer electives to fulfill the requirements.
