Admission into a Major Program

Many departments require a grade point average higher than 2.0 for admission to specific major or minor programs.  Some programs require completion of specific course sequences, minimum grades in certain perquisite courses, or an assessment test prior to applying to the major.
Being admitted to St. Cloud State University is a separate process than that of being admitted into a major program.  You first must be accepted to SCSU, then you may make application to an individual major or minor program.
