All three majors maintain admission procedures separate from the one through which students apply to the university. Students already enrolled at one of the liberal arts colleges and new transfer students may obtain information about SCILS admission procedures from the SCILS web site (http://www.scils.rutgers.edu).

There is no minimum grade-point average for admission to SCILS; however, students' applications, transcripts, and written statements are reviewed by department admissions committees to determine suitability for admission. The faculty of the school is committed to admitting a highly motivated and diverse student body to the undergraduate programs.

Minors are not offered in any of the SCILS programs.
