Sterling College

Perfect Study Spot

Admissions

We evaluate each applicant individually and assess a range of academic and personal information. Academic preparation and achievement play an important role. Successful candidates for admission generally have completed a college preparatory high school curriculum including:

–– four years of English
–– three to four years of mathematics
–– two to three years of science, at least two laboratory sciences
–– three to four years of history or social science

Successful transfer candidates also have a solid college grade point average.

The Admissions Committee looks most favorably upon applicants who express enthusiasm for experiential learning, in addition to intellectual curiosity and drive and desire to shape one’s own education. We offer admission to first-year and transfer students who we feel are a good fit—students who will support our mission, prove to be academically engaged, and become successful members of the Sterling community.

Prospective students are encouraged to initiate personal contact with admission counselors or others in the Sterling community. Schedule a visit to campus, write, call, or send an e-mail to make known your level of interest in attending Sterling College. An admissions interview is highly recommended.
