Admission to the Program

To be considered for the major, applicants must first be admitted to American University. Please see the Minimum Admissions Requirements for further information. Formal admission to the major requires a grade point average of 2.70 (on a 4.00 scale) after the freshman year and departmental approval. In addition to university requirements for transfer admission, applicants should have maintained a minimum grade point average of 2.70 (on a 4.00 scale). Transfer students with a grade point average between 2.50 and 2.70 may be formally admitted to the major after completion of 15 credit hours with a minimum grade point average of 3.00.

American University Admissions

American University has begun the shift to an automated online application process. As this process is completed, the use of paper applications will become obsolete. Admissions at American University strongly encourages all prospective incoming freshman to use our online application service (no application fee). However, you may still download the paper application ($45 application fee)and mail it in to the admissions office.
