College Admissions

Entrance requirements for different colleges vary; however, there are certain basic requirements upon which colleges generally agree.  The following Connecticut State University admission requirements will apply for students entering many state institutions:

• English 4 credits

• Mathematics 3 (Advanced course as 12th grader)

• Sciences 2

• Social Studies 3

• World Language 2 

Highly selective colleges expect a student to take a very demanding program of studies and do well in comparison to other college-bound peers.  Admissions counselors also urge high school seniors to take a demanding and challenging program during their senior year.  College acceptances may be withdrawn if a student does not perform at a level equal to or better than that of previous years.
