Minimum Requirements to Apply

College-level credit during high school: Students with Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, or other college-level credit should submit official score reports or transcripts to Goshen College.

Students not meeting full admission standards are still encouraged to apply for admission. Goshen College takes a holistic approach to admission decisions and will consider the merit of each applicants’ academic record on an individual basis. Additional materials may be requested so that we can learn as much as we need to make our admission decision.

Students with diagnosed learning disabilities who are otherwise qualified for admission to Goshen College must provide documentation of their specific learning differences to the director of the Academic Success Center in order to receive reasonable accommodation.
