BE ADMITTED

First Year Admission Requirements:

• Cumulative, unweighted high school GPA of at least 2.0

Successful completion of the following high school coursework:

• four years of English
• two years of science (with at least one lab science)
• three years of social studies
• three years of mathematics; including Algebra I and a course above the level of Algebra I.  Please note that two years of applied algebra count as one year of mathematics toward the requirement

**If you graduate from a Nevada high school, you should automatically meet these requirements.

If you have a high school diploma, but do not meet our coursework and GPA requirements, you may still be admitted pending the approval of the Admissions Review Committee. You will be required to submit a personal statement and ACT/SAT scores in order to be considered for admission.

Applicants with a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) are also reviewed by our Admissions Review Committee. You will be asked to submit your official transcripts (if any), official copy of your GED, and a personal statement. The committee will evaluate your level of academic preparedness for college and readiness to be a student, and determine your eligibility based on these factors.

Please contact our Office of Admissions and Recruitment for additional information.
