First Time College

Straight Admit:
Incoming freshmen students must meet one of the following criteria to be admitted to any of the five majors in the program.

  • Math ACT higher than ≥ 25 and overall cumulative grade point average higher than  ≥ 3.0   
     or
    Overall cumulative grade point average higher than ≥ 3.5 and grades of B or higher in math and science courses

Conditional Admit:
Incoming freshmen who do not meet the above criteria may be conditionally admitted to the program. This means they will not be eligible to sign up for UMKC classes until they have completed one successful semester here at Rockhurst. This successful semester is defined as having completed either precalculus with a grade of B or higher or calculus I with a grade of C or higher, and also earning an overall cumulative grade point average higher than ≥ 2.7.

Following this successful semester students are then eligible to take UMKC classes starting in the fall of their sophomore year. It is still possible that a conditional admit student may finish the program in four years; however, they must be prepared for the possibility that it may take five years to complete.

Transfer Students

Transfer students must meet the following criteria to be admitted to the joint program:

  • Must have college credit for at least one math course at the college algebra level or above.
  • A grade of C or higher in all college level math, physics, and major required courses.  A student may have repeated a course once in order to achieve this.
  • College overall cumulative grade point average higher than ≥ 2.7

A transfer student who does not meet these criteria may enter Rockhurst and apply to the program after they have completed one successful semester. A successful semester is defined as having taken at least one math class at the precalculus level or above and completed that class with a grade  of C or higher.  If the class is precalculus, a grade of B or higher is required.  You must also earn an overall cumulative grade point average higher than ≥ 2.7.

Current Rockhurst Students

Any current Rockhurst student is eligible to apply to the program if they have completed at least one semester at Rockhurst and meet the following criteria:

  • Must have college credit with a grade of C or higher for at least one math course at the college algebra level or above.
  • Achieved a grade of C or higher in all Rockhurst math and physics courses.  A student may have repeated a course once in order to achieve this.
  • College overall cumulative grade point average higher than ≥ 2.7
