Admissions Requirements

*Misericordia University has announced that it will continue test-blind admission review for the first-year undergraduate class entering through the 2027-2028 year in all academic programs. Students who have taken the SAT or ACT are not required to submit their scores. Test scores will not be used in determining admission or academic scholarship awards.

The minimum criteria for admission into the Accounting program as a freshman student are:

1. Class rank in the top half of the high school graduating class and/or a cumulative 2.5 grade point average
2. Minimum combined SAT score of 850 for Critical Reading and Math (combined) if taken prior to March 5, 2016, or 930 if taken after March 5, 2016. In lieu of the SAT, ACT results may be presented with a minimum required composite score of 18

Successful transfer applicants will typically hold a minimum collegiate grade point average of 2.0, having completed at least 15 college credits, and have a proven record of success in high school.

Please note the above listed requirements are general, and that each application is looked at thoroughly, taking into account individual grades, academic rigor, and other factors.

Accounting majors must achieve a GPA of 2.15 in the major by the beginning of the junior year and a GPA of 2.25 in the major by the beginning of the senior year. Failure to maintain the appropriate GPA will result in suspension from the major until the GPA meets minimum standards. This policy covers all Accounting, Business, Management Information Systems, and required courses in the major. In addition, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for the 48-credit college core in order to graduate.
