Who We Accept and What You Need
We accept students into the BAUSP program directly from high school (as first-year students) or from other colleges in their sophomore or junior year (as transfer students).
The following high school courses are required when applying as a first-year student:
- 4 years of English
- 3 years of mathematics
- 2 years of any one foreign language
- 2 years of social studies
- 2 years of laboratory science
A transfer student must have completed 60 or more semester hours (30 for students transferring within the university) of acceptable undergraduate work with an earned GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. The department recommends that students with more than 90 hours already earned (or 135 hours on a quarter system) complete their undergraduate degrees and apply to the graduate program.
