ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS – BACHELOR S DEGREE

　　Students who possess an Associate degree or substantial advanced standing credit are encouraged to apply for a Bachelor’s level program at Monroe College. While students without substantial incoming credit are generally advised to first complete their Associate degree, they may request direct admission to the Bachelor’s program of their choice.

　　To be considered for admission to Monroe College’s Bachelor’s Degree Program, candidates must complete the following steps:

1. Complete an Application for Admission.
2. Have a personal interview with an admissions counselor.
3. Submit official transcripts for all college-level course work previously completed.

　　Students requesting direct admission to the bachelor’s program after graduation from high school must also submit secondary school transcripts. These applicants are also encouraged to submit all appropriate test scores (SAT, ACT, GCE, CXT, etc., as appropriate). Adult applicants should submit a comprehensive summary of all work experience. All applicants for direct admission must also submit an admissions essay. Applicants will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee on a case by case basis.

　　Other than candidates seeking direct admission to the bachelor’s program, applicants should possess a major area cumulative grade point average of 2.50. Under extenuating circumstances, applicants not meeting this criterion may be accepted.

It is suggested that transfer candidates submit recommendations from those who know the candidate well and can comment on the candidate’s ability to be successful in this program.
