Admission

Applications for admission are sent to the University Admissions Center for processing and are reviewed there. All applicants must be high school graduates and have taken algebra, geometry, English, and at least one lab science; chemistry would be helpful for those entering some Stockbridge programs. A foreign language is not required. SAT/ACT scores are required. It is expected that applicants have reasonable scores approaching those required in baccalaureate programs. SAT/ACT scores are not required of applicants who have been out of high school more than five years. Transfer students are generally not admitted for spring semester unless the applicant has completed 15 transferable college credits comparable to the first semester’s coursework required by the Stockbridge major. Applications for admission may be obtained from either the University Admissions Center or the Stockbridge School office, or from the website www.umass.edu/admissions/applying.

Students who are in their fourth semester of a Stockbridge major may apply for transfer to a baccalaureate program if they have a minimum 2.500 grade point average and obtain approval of the Director. Applications for transfer may be obtained in the Stockbridge office. The Director forwards all applications with recommendations to the University Admissions Center for review and approval. Students receive notice of acceptance from  Transfer Admissions.
