PRIVATE COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
Admission requirements vary greatly with each school ranging from the very demanding to the less stringent admission standards. Private schools and some out of state public institutions often take into consideration factors other than the grade point average and test scores. Such factors as special talents and aptitudes, community service, religious affiliation, and high school activities may play a part in the admissions policies at some schools. The application window for these colleges varies.
Students wishing to apply to PRIVATE SCHOOLS, whether in or out of state, or OUT OF STATE PUBLIC SCHOOLS are advised to check the specific admission requirements for the schools in which they are interested.  Please refer to www.commonapp.org and www.collegeboard.org for more information about individual colleges and universities.  Upon completion, students will receive a Bachelor’s in Science (BS) or Arts (BA) depending on their major.
