Admission Requirements We're selective. We're looking for students who will reap the greatest benefits from our challenging academic environment and diverse student life opportunities. More than 90 percent of our freshmen class ranked in the top 20 percent of their high school graduating classes. We strongly recommend that you carry a cumulative grade-point average of at least a 3.2 in all your previous college work, especially in your intended field of study. We look for As and Bs in challenging academic courses, including English composition, mathematics, liberal arts and sciences. If your GPA is below 3.2, your application may still be considered, depending on your individual circumstances.
If you have recently graduated from high school or have completed less than one full year of college, your high school record will play a large part in our admission decision. We expect you to have completed a minimum of 30 units of full-credit classes in high school (A GED, along with standardized testing, is also accepted.) including:
four years of English
three years of mathematics (four years for math, science, and engineering majors)
one year of laboratory science (two years-including chemistry-for math and science; engineering majors must have one year of chemistry and one year of physics)
If you were dismissed from another college or university, you must be eligible to return to that institution in order to be considered for admission to Case.
