Seattle University offers the distinct advantage of considering freshman applicants for direct admission to specific majors. Accordingly, there are specific additional requirements for admission to certain majors. Please see the section "Direct Entry Admission Requirements" for more details.

ACT and SAT exam scores

Seattle University employs a holistic review of your application materials to determine admission. Part of that holistic review includes evaluation of student performance on the SAT or ACT exam, both of which are optional for all first-time in college applicants. 

If you choose to submit your test scores, Seattle University will use the highest sub-scores on both the ACT and SAT Reasoning test when making admission and scholarship decisions and in the advisement and course placement of first-time freshmen.

Should applicants choose to submit test scores, they must be received from first-time freshman applicants no later than November 15 for those applying for early action and no later than January 15 for those applying for regular admission consideration. We will provisionally accept self-reported scores from the Common Application to complete applications, but students are required to send official scores if they choose to attend SU.

International students

Although it is not required for international students to submit the SAT or ACT, the Admissions Office recommends international students take either exam and submit their scores.

Gaps in education

If an applicant has a gap in education of 5 or more years, they may be asked to establish a current academic record at another college or university prior to applying for admission at Seattle University.  In addition, recent prerequisite coursework may be needed to apply to specific majors. Please contact your Admissions Counselor for more information.

English proficiency requirements

Applicants whose native language is other than English must demonstrate English proficiency regardless of length of residency in the U.S., their citizenship or their immigration status.

Gaps in Education

If an applicant has a gap in education of 5 or more years, they may be asked to establish a current academic record at another college or university prior to applying for admission at Seattle University.  In addition, recent prerequisite coursework may be needed to apply to specific majors. Please contact your Admissions Counselor for more information.

Direct Entry Admissions Requirements

Seattle University offers the distinct advantage of considering freshman applicants Direct Entry to specific majors. Accordingly, there are specific additional requirements for admission to certain majors. Some programs require additional credit requirements for Direct Entry consideration.

For instance, if a student indicates "Nursing" on the Common Application, that student will be considered for admission to Seattle University in the Nursing program. If admitted, that student will be eligible to begin taking classes—or pre-requisites—in the Nursing program from the start of their enrollment at SU and have a path to a degree in four years.

Students who do not meet minimum direct entry requirements  for their preferred major will be considered for Premajor Studies, Pre-Science, and Pre-Engineering. The Admissions Office will send notification if a student's preferred major has been changed in the application review process. A student who begins in a "pre-" program has access to 4-year graduation options in all majors with the exception of Nursing. Due to the cohort nature of the Nursing program, students are not eligible to change their major to Nursing after starting in a different program at Seattle University.

Keeping in mind that submission of SAT or ACT test scores is optional for all first-time-in-college applicants to Seattle University, the minimum direct entry requirements are:

Should a student choose to submit ACT or SAT scores, direct-entry to these programs requires scores of 640+ on the SAT Math or 28 or higher on the ACT Math section. For students applying test-optional, admissions will employ a holistic review process using transcripts, coursework, grade trend, recommendation letters and other application materials not including SAT or ACT test scores.

College of Arts and Sciences
