A Note on Curricular Deficiencies
You must meet the basic academic curricular requirements for admission to baccalaureate programs. In order to satisfy these requirements, you must have completed and passed college-level courses including one English course, one science course with lab, one math course, a U.S. government course and two history or economics courses.
If you have not satisfied these requirements at the post-secondary level, your high school transcript may be used to ensure that you have met all basic academic requirements (see freshman admission for eligibility). Your ACT scores may also be used to remediate curricular deficiencies. Subscores of 19 or above demonstrate proficiency in that subject area. If you do not satisfy the basic academic curricular requirements you will be required to remediate curricular deficiencies and will be instructed on how to do so.
