Admission Requirements
The undergraduate admission standards at Fresno Pacific University are among the highest for
Christian colleges in California. The admission process is designed to select those applicants who
are most likely to successfully meet the rigorous expectations of professional and personal development
that characterize a Fresno Pacific University education. The admission decision is based
on a wide range of factors.
Freshmen Admission
The primary academic requirement for regular freshmen admission is either a cumulative high
school GPA of 3.1 or higher, or a corresponding index number. The index combines the GPA and the
SAT I or ACT test score. All freshmen must have taken the SAT I or the ACT before enrolling. The FPU
index is calculated in the same way as the California State University index. However, the FPU
minimum of 3094 is considerably higher than the CSU minimum. In addition to the GPA/INDEX
requirements, certain courses are also required:
- Four years of college preparatory English with a grade of C or better
- Three years of college preparatory mathematics with a grade of C or better
- Two years of social studies with a grade of C or better
- One year of a laboratory science with a grade of C or better
- Two years of the same foreign language with a grade of C or better
- One year of visual or performing arts with a grade of C or better
Applicants who do not meet all of these academic standards may be considered for an exception by
the faculty admission committee. The faculty allows a specific number of categorical exceptions
each year. Early application for these openings is strongly recommended.
Transfer Admission
The primary academic requirement for regular transfer admission is a cumulative GPA of 2.4 or
higher in 24 or more units transferable to Fresno Pacific University. When fewer than 24 transferable
units have been completed, admission will be granted based on the freshmen standards.
Transfer applicants who do not meet all of these academic standards may be considered for an
exception by the faculty admission committee. The faculty allows a specific number of categorical
exceptions each year. Early application for these openings is strongly recommended.
Re-entry Admission
Re-entry students, those who have been out of high school or college for five or more years, can be
admitted if they meet either of the above requirements. If these requirements are not met, the
faculty admission committee will review the application and recommendation. If sufficient qualities
of maturity, academic ability, and motivation are present to convince the committee that the applicant
has the potential to succeed at Fresno Pacific University, the committee can grant admission.
