Admissions Requirements

Freshman Applicants

Misericordia University has announced that it will continue test-blind admission review for the first-year class entering in Fall 2024 and Fall 2025 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.

Successful freshman applicants to Misericordia University's Medical Imaging program will typically have a minimum grade point average of 3.00 and a combined SAT score of 950 (math and critical reading) for students who took the SAT prior to March 5, 2016, or 1030 for students who took the SAT after March 5, 2016; or a minimum 20 ACT composite score. They will also have taken 3 years of high school math and 1 year of Biology all with a minimum grade of "C".

Transfer Applicants

Transfer applications to the Medical Imaging program are only accepted for the freshman or sophomore level, and only with the successful completion of appropriate prerequisites, and based on clinical availability. Successful transfer applicants will typically hold a minimum collegiate grade point average of 2.75. Students having completed less than 24 credits will be considered freshman applicants. Freshman level transfer applicants for the January semester must have 12 credits that apply toward the major, 4 of which are Anatomy & Physiology I. Transfers into the sophomore class must have a minimum of 24 credits that apply toward the major; 8 of which must be Anatomy and Physiology I and II. Students already at MU wishing to change majors must include the “Internal Transfer Application for Medical Imaging" found on the MU portal on the Registrar's page with their request letter. Click on “Academics" and then “Registrar's Office" in the drop down box.

Misericordia University reviews individual applications carefully, and the above stated standards should be seen only as general guidelines. The Director of Admissions and individual department chairs reserve the right to exercise discretion in any admissions decision.
