ACADEMIC DEGREES
Since our founding as the Lincoln Normal School in 1867, ASU has always believed in the power of education. Today, we offer nearly 50 degrees, including our historic education, noted science and renowned theater program.
ADMISSIONS PROCESS
Alabama State University uses a sliding scale to consider applicants for admission to the University. Generally, applicants with higher GPAs may be accepted with lower ACT/SAT scores, while applicants with lower GPAs may be accepted with higher ACT/SAT scores. To be considered for admission, students must earn a diploma from an accredited high school and meet the following criteria according to the sliding scale:
ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTSBEGINNING FRESHMEN Applicants who have earned a diploma from any high school and who meet the requirements in the sliding scale below (or GED certificate) who demonstrate that they can benefit from and contribute to the University’s educational program and goals will be fully admitted to the University.
Applicants who do not meet regular admission requirements may be admitted to the University’s Tier II or Tier III (Summer Bridge) if they fall within the category listed below. Students who do not meet regular, Tier II, or Tier III admissions will be denied.
Students who are initially denied admissions may appeal to the Admissions Committee for reconsideration based upon special factors or circumstances that may be mitigating in a review process. Appeals should be forwarded to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment. The director of Admission has limited discretion, under the authority of the president of the University to adjust admissions requirements based on existing market trends. Applicants who are seniors in high school are admitted with the understanding that requirements for admission to the university will be fulfilled during their senior year. These applicants must submit a final high school transcript that reflects the completion of high school with a standard, honors, or advanced diploma from their high school. |

Students should send the application for admission (PDF | online) to the Office of Admissions & Recruitment, along with a $30 application fee, a copy of their official high school transcript and their ACT/SAT scores no later than 15 days before the start of the semester. View the academic calendar.
