Admission Requirements for Bachelor of Science (BS)
- Successful completion of at least 45 semester hours of transferable college credit
- GPA of 2.0 (4.0 scale) or better on all prior academic work
If you do not fulfill all the requirements, you may petition for admission consideration. Please contact your admissions counselor for further information.
