ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

To be eligible for regular undergraduate admission to the University, students are expected to meet the following standards:

  • Complete the Ave Maria University undergraduate application.
  • Complete admissions interview with an admissions counselor (can be in-person or virtual).
  • Standardized test scores are not required for admission consideration for the 2024 admission cycle. However, submission of test scores is recommended and can make an applicant more competitive for admittance and scholarship awarding.

The University reserves the right to administer placement tests to admitted students in order to improve the advisement process, ensure placement in the correct course, and enhance the probabilities for student success.
