  • You are NOT a first-year student if you have taken at least one college course after graduating from high school (or completing your GED) and simply do not wish to transfer those credits and start over. This is not an option, and students who have taken even one college course from a recognized institution after graduating from high school (or completing their GED) must apply as a transfer student. This includes students who earned a W in a college course from a recognized institution after graduating from high school (or completing their GED). Failure to list and submit transcripts from all institutions previously attended before enrolling at 91������ is considered to be a violation of academic ethics and may result in the cancellation of your admission or dismissal from the university
• You are a transfer student if you have graduated from high school (or completed a GED) and earned a grade in at least one college course from a recognized institution after graduating (or completing your GED).
  • You are not a transfer student if you have taken courses for college credit while in high school (i.e. dual enrollment or early college programs, etc.). Unless you graduated from high school (or earned your GED) and then took college courses, you are not a transfer student.

Undecided students have the following options:

• The College of Arts and Sciences allows undecided students with fewer than 24 completed college credits at the time they apply to select Open Option as a major. This is the best option for students who know they want a degree from the College of Arts and Sciences, but do not know which major they would like to pursue within the College of Arts and Sciences.
• If you are undecided, you can apply to PES. Some colleges also have Open Option majors, meaning you can apply to your desired college even if you are not yet sure exactly which specific major you want to pursue.

Students can submit a major change request through their application status page. Once classes have started, you will need to work directly with your degree advisor in order to change your college and/or major.

If you are interested in any of these fields, you may apply to any major. Pre-professional advisors will be available to help you meet the undergraduate requirements needed to apply for medical school, law school, etc. Students interested in pre-health may indicate this in the application. 

The School of Education offers four bachelor’s degree programs: Elementary Education, Middle and High School Teaching, Education Studies and Leadership & Community Engagement. A cumulative college GPA of 2.75 or better as well as 24 completed college credits in general education requirements are preferred for admission consideration. Applicants with a GPA lower than 2.75 will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants with fewer than 24 completed college credit hours will be evaluated based on both their high school and college coursework.

Elementary Education and Middle and High School Teaching are bachelor's degree + licensure programs, and have requirements beyond coursework, such as fieldwork (including student teaching), Praxis exams, and professional disposition. The Elementary Education program includes an endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education along with the recommendation for initial teacher licensure. Secondary licensure in English, world languages, mathematics, science and social studies can be completed with or without the Middle and High School Teaching bachelor's degree, but those pursuing secondary licensure must also complete a bachelor's degree in a content area major outside of the School of Education, regardless of whether they pursue the BA. Applicants interested in K-12 music education licensure should apply directly to the College of Music.

You can only select one major/degree on your application. However, you can indicate you want to double major in Music at the time of applying. If you are offered admission at 91������, you will be admitted to one major and one degree program. After you enroll, you may consider pursuing a double degree, double major or minor.

91������ operates on a two-semester academic calendar. The fall semester begins in late August, and the spring semester begins in mid-January. Summer session lasts ten weeks; courses meeting for shorter periods (one to four, five, or eight weeks) are scheduled during the ten-week session. Starting Spring 2023, we will no longer be offering the four, 4-week summer mini sessions.  Transfer students may start their degree program in the summer but will have limited access to academic advising. Also, transfer students are now eligible to start in Maymester and Augmester, which are truncated 3-week long semesters offered in May and August respectively. If you wish to apply to start in Maymester or Augmester, simply apply to the summer term with enough time to have your application reviewed prior to the start of classes for those terms.
