Freshman Admission Requirements<\/h2>\n

The most important factors in the admission decision are the academic record (including courses taken, grades attained, and class standing) followed by SAT or ACT scores. We also consider the extracurricular activities, community involvement, and a student’s potential to contribute positively to the Campbell campus environment. Applicants are encouraged to pursue a rigorous program of study throughout their four years of high school. For transfers, previous college work is the primary factor.<\/p>\n

Campbell requires incoming students to have taken the following courses as part of their high school curriculum:<\/p>\n

High School Course Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Subject Area<\/th>\nNumber of Credits<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
English<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
College-Prep Math (must have Algebra II and Geometry)<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Social Sciences (one must be US History)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Natural Sciences (one must be a laboratory science)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Foreign Language (recommended but not required)<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Campbell recommends taking 2 credit hours of a foreign language in high school. Students with no background in a foreign language have a more difficult time passing college-level language courses.<\/p>\n

Standardized Test Requirements<\/h2>\n

Campbell University accepts either the SAT or ACT college entrance exams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Test Optional<\/h3>\n

Starting in Fall 2022, undergraduate applicants have the option to be reviewed for admission and potential merit-based scholarships without submission of SAT or ACT score results.<\/p>\n

Accepted students will be notified about options for course placement prior to New Student Orientation.<\/p>\n

Home Schooled Students<\/h2>\n

Campbell welcomes applications from home schooled students. Although they currently make up a small portion of the applicant pool, applications from home schooled students continue to increase. We recognize that your experience as a home schooled student will be somewhat different from students in traditional schools. We’ll look at your academic record and non-academic interests and commitments within the context of your particular home school curriculum and experience. We understand that for many home schooled students there is not as clear a distinction between academic and non-academic activities as there might be for students in a traditional high school.<\/p>\n

The more you can document for us and describe what you have done during your high school years, academically and otherwise, the better. Feel free to go beyond the questions on our application forms if they don’t cover everything you think is important for us to know. There may also be questions that simply don’t apply in the case of a home schooled student. You and others completing forms on your behalf may leave those questions blank.<\/p>\n

Academic Preparation and Transcript for Home Schooled Students<\/h3>\n

In general, we look for students who have challenged themselves with rigorous study in a range of academic areas during their high school years, but the exact course of study varies among our successful applicants. Please provide us with detailed information about the academic program you have pursued. If you are not able to provide a traditional transcript of course grades, include an outline of your high school curriculum. If you have taken any courses at a school, college, online or by correspondence, please be sure to have official transcripts sent to the Campbell Admissions Office.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Non-Traditional Admission Requirements<\/h2>\n

The Undergraduate Transfer Admissions Office will handle the applications and inquiries for all main campus transfers students, second bachelor’s degree seeking students, non-degree seeking students (visiting), campus transfers, and returning students. This does not include Dual Enrolled or Early College students.<\/strong> Early College and Dual Enrolled students will apply as freshmen. However, the links on this page will help as you select college-level courses you wish to transfer into your intended major here at Campbell University.<\/p>\n

Transfer Student Admission Requirements<\/h2>\n

An applicant is considered to be a transfer student if they have completed any number of college credit hours after their official high school graduation date.<\/p>\n
