Last-60-Unit GPA

Applicants must have at least a 3.25 GPA in their most recent 60 semester units (or 90 quarter units) of graded transferable college-level coursework, by the end of the Fall 2026 semester. Winter or Spring in-progress coursework taken after Fall 2026 is not factored into the GPA calculation, nor the unit count.

Transferable coursework is college-level coursework that comes from a regionally accredited institution. Regional accrediting organizations include   HLC link opens in a new window  ,   MSCHE link opens in a new window  ,   NECHE link opens in a new window  ,   SACSCOS link opens in a new window  , and   WASC link opens in a new window  . National accreditation alone is not sufficient.
