INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Additional departmental requirements:
Some departments require additional information beyond that described above.

• Commercial Music Technology: Students must test and audition for admission into the Commercial Music Technology Program.
• Education and Nursing: These majors have higher GPA requirements for program admission. Students who do not meet these requirements may still be considered for admission to another major and this will be communicated to you by an Admissions Counselor.
• Education: Transfer students must meet the GPA for Education Admissions Matrix.
• Nursing: All nursing applicants must begin the program during the fall semester. Due to limited capacity and the high interest in the nursing major, this program is highly selective. We encourage students to apply early in order to maximize consideration for admission.
