  • Have an assigned advisor.
  • Have completed a minimum of 32 semester credits hours with a minimum of a 2.0 GPA.
  • Have successful completion of English 101 with a “C” or above and your first college-level math course requirement with a “C” or above.
  • Have completed any additional requirements for admission to your major.

The following majors have additional admission requirements:

  • Biochemistry Majors (Chem 201 and Chem 202 with a “C” or above and Biol 105 and Biol 106 with a “C” or above).
  • Chemistry Majors (Chem 201 and Chem 202 with a “C” or above).
  • Computer Science Majors (CS 110 with a "B" or better, CS 111, CS 210, and CS 220 with a "C" or better; Math 121 with a "C" or better; and a 2.5 GPA in all computer classes).
