Admission Requirements

Applicants may apply for admission to undergraduate certificate and degree programs at any time during the year and, if accepted, begin the program during any one of the three semesters. Applicants must demonstrate the language proficiency necessary for successful undergraduate coursework. Applicants must provide all official transcripts issued to Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota for all previously attempted college-level coursework.  If no college-level coursework has been previously attempted, an official high school transcript showing an earned diploma must be submitted. Applicants may complete an interview with a program administrator as part of the admission process.

Application Process

Applicants within the U.S. must submit:

1. A completed application form

2. An official high school or GED transcript issued to Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. Transfer students who, following high school completion, have earned 12 or more college-level credits and at least C/2.0 or above grades are not required to submit official high school transcripts.

3. Official transcripts from all post-high school coursework including technical and community colleges. (An official transcript is one that is sent to the university by the credit-granting institution.)

Students with transcripts issued in the U.S. may be admitted without an official transcript. Students must provide an official transcript by the last day to add/drop classes in their first term of attendance. In cases where students are completing coursework while simultaneously applying for admission, students may be admitted with an in-progress transcript, and an official transcript posting final grades and, when appropriate, degree attainment, must be submitted before students are allowed to register for subsequent semesters. 

Applicants from countries outside the U.S. must submit:

1. A completed application form.

2. High school transcripts and post-high school transcripts which must be evaluated by a university accepted evaluation service, such as World Education Services, Educational Credential Evaluators, Educational Perspectives, or One Earth International Credential Evaluators and be deemed equivalent to accredited U.S. university standards).  Evaluations from an approved member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES.org) will also be accepted.  Any post-high school transcripts should be evaluated on a course by course basis rather than a general evaluation. 

3. English proficiency Exam - Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota accepts the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT)) with a minimum score of 72, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) with a minimum score of 6.0, Duolingo Language Test with a minimum score of 105, the International Test of English Proficiency (ITEP) with a minimum score of 4.0 or Pearson Test of English with a score of 51, EIKEN with a minimum of Pre-1, and the Manchester Exam with a minimum score of 360.
