High School Entrance Courses

The high school transcript must show that the candidate will graduate (or has already graduated) and will have completed a minimum of 16 academic courses in grades nine through twelve. Courses taken in the eighth grade may be used to meet requirements in mathematics and foreign language, but are not counted among the 16 academic courses. See the high school entrance courses chart for the specific subject requirements of each college.

Transfer applicants are required to submit their high school transcripts, although primary emphasis for admission is placed on completed college work.
