In addition to a locked-in tuition rate, all full-time undergraduate students receive a merit scholarship ranging from $10,000 – $19,000. You can also earn a $1,000 scholarship for visiting campus, and we have a variety of additional merit and financial need-based programs to help make your education affordable.

Test Optional Admissions
Worried about those SAT or ACT scores? Don’t be! We’re test-optional, which means you can choose whether or not to submit those scores. It’s all about giving you flexibility in the application process.
We accept students from across the board. If you don’t love your GPA, don’t worry. We take other factors into consideration like extra curriculars, student circumstances, and much more. Contact an Admissions counselor to review your transcripts and discuss your options. We don’t want your grades to get between you and your dream school!
