Maryville University is a Test-Optional Institution and does not require the submission of standardized test scores for students applying for freshmen or transfer admission, except in select circumstances.  A high school diploma with a minimum of 22 units of credit including four units of English, three units of mathematics, three units of science, three units of social sciences (social studies) and three additional units in any of the above areas or in a foreign language.  A high school grade point average of at least 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) for most academic programs.  The Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing and Speech Language Pathology programs have different admission requirements.  

Transfer students are considered for admission primarily on the basis of their academic work at all transfer institutions as reflected in their required college or university transcripts.  A 2.0-grade point average on a 4.0 scale in college work is required for admission. Students with less than a 2.0 GPA may be considered for provisional admission. High school transcripts are required for transfer students with fewer than 60 transferable hours or for admission to certain programs. A maximum of 68 credit hours from a two-year college will be counted toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree.  Students who possess an Associate in Arts General Transfer degree from an accredited institution which follows the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education guidelines, or a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution, may have fulfilled Maryville’s General Education requirement.
