Our goal is for you to have the best experience possible in an affordable, private education. We offer:
• A 14:1 student-faculty ratio so you’re a name, not a number.
• A peaceful campus setting with a beautiful blend of historic buildings and modern facilities.
• Access to hundreds of small businesses and large corporations for resume-building internships and jobs that can lead to rewarding careers.
• Classes led by full professors who care about your success.
• An energized campus with more than 50 clubs and organizations.
• Eleven social fraternities and sororities.
• Championship intercollegiate athletics and intramural sports.

Just as important, more than 80 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid. That means we’re serious about helping you find scholarships, grants, loans and work study. In fact, your admission application automatically qualifies you for scholarship consideration.

High school graduates will be reviewed for regular admission according to the following criteria: 1. Cumulative weighted high school grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or above (on a 4.0 scale). 2. Minimum Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score of 920 (combined Critical Reading and Math) or American College Testing (ACT) Composite score of 19. 3. Upper 50th percentile of the high school class ranking, where applicable.

The following distribution of high school units is strongly recommended for preparing to attend Texas Wesleyan University: English, 4; Mathematics, 4; Social Sciences, including 1 unit of American history, 3 1/2; Natural Science, 3; Foreign language, 2; Electives, 8. Non-academic vocational units should be limited to 2.

Students not meeting any or all of the above criteria are subject to review by the Committee on Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid for final decision regarding admission. If selected for committee review, a student may be asked for additional information, such as a personal essay, letters of recommendation, a personal interview, or other items.

Specific academic programs may require higher entrance requirements, and applications are subject to review by the dean of the appropriate school for admission approval.

Home-Schooled Students—An applicant who has been home-schooled is expected to meet all admission requirements for regular high school graduates with the exception of a high school diploma.

General Education Development (GED) Diploma Holders—An applicant with an average score of 50 on the General Education Development Diploma testing program may be considered for acceptance to Texas Wesleyan University. A copy of the GED certificate and an official report of test results must accompany the admission application. Applicants under the age of 25 are expected to meet all admission requirements for regular high school graduates with the exception of a high school diploma.

Step 1: Complete the online Freshman Application for Admission. Once you have completed six semesters’ worth of credits (three years) in high school, you may apply for admission. Most students apply during the fall of their senior year.

Step 2: Submit your official high school transcript, official GED Diploma results, or documented home school transcript. Official transcripts must be sent to Texas Wesleyan directly from the institution or delivered in person via sealed envelope.

Step 3: Tests. Official results from either the American College Testing (ACT) program or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Board must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions. Also submit any AP, IB, or CLEP scores, if applicable.

You may submit each requested item separately or all at once. The Office of Admissions will begin reviewing your file once we receive all items. You will be notified if we need additional items like letters of recommendation or an essay. Additionally, you will be notified if we are missing any required application items. Finally, you will receive notification by mail regarding your admission decision. Admission decisions are made as soon as your file is complete, on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Once you have applied, you can access our online service for students, RAMLINK, to check the status of your application as well as the status of financial aid and scholarships. You may also access RAMLINK as a guest to see the upcoming course schedule. RAMLINK
