Who We Want

Academic performance in high school
There’s no minimum grade point average or class rank required, but know this: You’re up against the best and the brightest in the world. The more rigorous your course selection, the better your grades, and the higher your class rank, the more competitive your application will be.

High school academic requirements
The University requires the completion of the following high school courses in order to be considered for admission. A unit is the credit for a year of satisfactory work in an accredited secondary school. The two language units required should be in the same language.

For students intending to enter the College of Arts and Letters or the Mendoza College of Business, excluding the Arts and Letters Pre-Health program, Neuroscience and Behavior, and the combined Arts-Engineering program, the required 16 units must be distributed as follows:

4 units of English

3 units of Mathematics - Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry
(4 units preferred)
2 units of Foreign Language
(3-4 units preferred)
2 units of Science
(4 units preferred)
2 units of History/Social Science (3-4 units preferred)

3 units of additional History/Social Science, Science, Foreign Language, Mathematics, and English courses
For students intending to enter the College of Science, the College of Engineering, the School of Architecture, the Arts and Letters Pre-Health program, Neuroscience and Behavior, or the combined Arts and Engineering program, the distribution must be:

4 units of English

4 units of Mathematics - Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Advanced Mathematics (e.g. Pre-calculus, Calculus)

2 units of Foreign Language

2 units of Science - Chemistry
and Physics (4 units preferred)
2 units of History/Social Science (3-4 units preferred)
2 units of additional History/Social Science, Science, Foreign Language, Mathematics, and English courses
Although we require at least 16 academic units for admission, our most competitive applicants will have four units in each major academic area and in the most rigorous level their high school offers. We do include algebra and/or foreign language courses completed during eighth grade in our count of admissions requirements. For example, if you earned credit for one full-year introductory French course as an eighth grader, then completed French II in ninth grade, both credits will be counted.
