Admission Requirements

FIRST-TIME COLLEGE STUDENTS

Judson University seeks students with academic ability, personal promise, strong motivation, seriousness of purpose, and high moral character. Admission is based on a careful review of credentials.

First time students must have graduated from high school. We find that new students are best served if they have taken a sequence of college preparatory courses in high school. We strongly recommended that you have the following high school course foundation:

4 years of English
3 years of math
2 years of social science
2 years of lab science

As a Christian university we require all first-time college students to sign a Lifestyle Statement, which reflects your willingness to be personally responsible as you live and learn in our Christ-centered community.

The Admissions Review Committee will evaluate applicants who do not meet the minimal admission standards. A limited number of conditional admissions decisions will be made for students who demonstrate strong potential to succeed in college.
