Applicants must provide proof of high school graduation or achievement of a General Education Development (GED) certificate as a prerequisite for admission. In lieu of documenting high school graduation or a GED, applicants can provide proof of attaining an associate’s degree or higher from an accredited institution (or its equivalent, if achieved outside the United States). High school seniors who have not yet graduated should submit a partial transcript indicating their expected graduation date to be considered for early acceptance. Proof of high school graduation must be received on or before the first day of classes.
