ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
For admission to the College at Saint Constantine, you should have a solid college-prep background, including two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language. Additional work in humanities, mathematics, and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. We recommend taking the most challenging courses in your high school, whether AP, IB, or honors courses.
TEST SCORES
The College is test optional for most applicants, meaning we do not require standardized test scores. About 70% of our applicants still submit some form of test score, and they may prove helpful to your application. Some applicants are required to submit test scores:
- Home-schooled students are required to submit either SAT or ACT scores.
- Students that have not or will not receive a high school diploma must submit either SAT or ACT scores, as well as GED results, if available.
- International students who are not educated in English must submit SAT, ACT, TOEFL, or IELTS scores.
- International students who are currently educated in English may choose an interview instead of submitting testing.
ADMISSION INTERVIEWS
Interviews are required in order to apply for admission to The College. Interviews allow our Admission Committee to get to know you better, and you will also have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the college. You can request an interview during your campus visit, or via phone or video conference.
HOME-SCHOOLED APPLICANTS
The College welcomes applications from home-schooled students. In addition to the general requirements noted above, home-schooled students should submit documentation of the following:
- High School graduation, a GED, or its equivalent
- SAT or ACT scores
- An outline of the curriculum you have followed, arranged in chronological order by conventional subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. This may take the form of a transcript.
EARLY ADMISSION
Occasionally, the College accepts an applicant who has not graduated from high school. Students applying for such early admission should be well qualified to profit from the college program and must submit the results of a GED or its equivalent. SAT or ACT scores are also required. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases.
