Admission

I want to earn a second bachelor's degree

What is the admission policy?

All postbaccalaureate applicants must submit a Statement of Purpose at the time of application to the University. A portion of applicants may be admitted in Summer/Autumn and Autumn quarters on the basis of GPA alone, but the Statement of Purpose is required regardless of GPA. An application submitted without the statement will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.

A minimum GPA is established for routine admission of Evening Degree Program postbaccalaureate applicants. In calculating the cumulative undergraduate GPA, the Office of Admissions uses all grades earned at accredited four-year colleges and universities prior to the completion of the first bachelor's degree. Grades from community college coursework, graduate study or any coursework taken after the first bachelor's degree are not included when the Office of Admissions calculates the GPA for routine admission. Such work can be considered in the review of the Statement of Purpose.

All postbaccalaureate applicants must indicate on the admission application their intended major or goal for postbaccalaureate study (examples: English, Humanities, preparation for grad school in business). Applicants who leave #3 blank or who write "Undecided" will not be considered further.

Admission in Winter and Spring Quarters

Because admission to the University is more strictly limited in Winter and Spring quarters than in Summer/Autumn and Autumn quarters, Admissions cannot guarantee that any postbaccalaureate applicants will be admitted on the basis of GPA alone for Winter or Spring.
