Home-Schooled Requirements

We welcome students who have completed their high school subject matter through home-schooling. Our admission requirements for home-schooled students are the same used for students attending a public or private high school. We encourage you to carefully review our requirements to ensure that we receive the necessary documentation needed to assess your application for admission and enrollment.

As with all applicants, be sure to view important application deadlines, supporting credentials, major-specific requirements, and other materials needed to complete your application.
