Accelerated Dual-Degree Program Requirements

Admission to the university is competitive, and applicants are expected to present a strong college prep program in high school. Prospective first-year students are strongly encouraged to submit an application as early in their senior year of high school as possible and arrange to have first-quarter grades sent from their high school counselor as soon as they are available. When you maintain good academic standing in the program, you are automatically enrolled in both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

The accelerated dual-degree program is designed for outstanding students. First-year applicants will be considered for an accelerated dual-degree program based on demonstrated academic achievement to complete the bachelor’s degree at an accelerated pace.

While scores are not required, if a student wants to submit, they should have at least a 1200 SAT or 25 ACT to be considered.
