The Admissions Committee, giving equal opportunity to all students, will take the following criteria into consideration when reviewing each application: grades and courses taken, SAT or ACT scores, if available, high school counselor recommendations, and other pertinent information that would be helpful to the Admissions Committee in making decisions. SAT or ACT scores, are not required for transfer applicants, veterans, or applicants who have graduated from high school more than one year before applying. However, transcripts from high school and all colleges previously attended are required of all applicants.
Applicants are strongly urged to take the usual college preparatory program in high school. Applicants should also take any available high school courses in the field of their intended major. Certain majors at IUP require completion of a foreign language at the intermediate level to earn a bachelor’s degree. The Admissions Committee does not require an applicant to take a foreign language in high school for admission to these majors; however, it is in the student’s best interest to do so.
SAT/ACT scores are not required for merit scholarship consideration at IUP. If you are applying for scholarships external to IUP, test scores may be required for consideration
Applications are considered by the Admissions Committee on a rolling basis. Under a rolling admissions policy, applications are reviewed as they become complete. Decisions can range from automatic acceptance, to requests for additional information, to other alternatives, with a May 1 deadline for nonrefundable tuition deposits.
Academically qualified applicants to the majors of Music, Musical Theatre, and Graphic Design will be admitted to the university by the Admissions Committee. However, admission to the requested major will be subject to the acceptance of the academic department where the major resides after a portfolio review (Graphic Design) or an audition (all Music majors and Musical Theatre) by these departments. Students will receive information from these departments concerning auditions and portfolio reviews once they have been accepted to IUP.
