Undergraduate Traditional Program

Before the Office of Admissions can consider an application for an entering freshman, the applicant must present the following:

  1. An application filled out by the applicant.
  2. An official secondary school transcript showing academic achievement and rank in class. Since most applications are submitted during the senior year of high school, the applicant must request a final transcript to be sent after graduation. The minimum grade point average for acceptance is an un-weighted 2.25.
  3. While Belmont Abbey College is test score optional, students that submit a test score will have a greater advantage for scholarship opportunities. A score from either the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT). The minimum SAT or converted ACT score must be a combined evidence based reading/writing and math score of 850. For students not submitting test scores, the final high school transcript must show completion of a college preparatory curriculum. We will accept the Classical Learning Test (CLT) if a student prefers to submit scores for this test.
  4. Scores for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for all applicants whose native language is not English must be at least 550 OR 79 IBT.
