What factors are used in the admission decision? Is there a minimum GPA requirement?
You’ll be evaluated on a number of factors. An important consideration is your ability to articulate your goals, that is, how you expect a liberal arts degree to assist in your future academic and professional pursuits. The admission committee will use your essays, transcripts, résumé, and the admission interview as a basis for their decision. Students recently in attendance at another college or university are expected to have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. For students who have been out of college for a number of years, professional experience and learning may offset a low GPA.
