Applying to Evangel
as a Freshman

You are more than a GPA or a test score, and our wholistic approach to admission seeks to enroll students who will thrive at Evangel and who want to pursue a life of purpose.

Graduation from high school is required. A college preparatory track including three units of English, two units of math, two units of social science, and one unit of natural science is recommended. Applicants may also show high school equivalency (HSE) as demonstrated through the General Educational Development (GED) test or The High School Equivalency Test (HiSET).

Applicants with a 2.5 cumulative high school GPA or better can apply test optional and will be considered for full admission. Applicants with less than a 2.5 will need to submit an ACT, SAT, or CLT score. As a Christian University, applicants will also be asked to confirm their commitment to Christ and agree to abide by EU’s community covenant. Individuals with less than a 2.5 cumulative GPA will be considered for probational admission.

When applying for Valor Scholars Program consideration, you will need to submit the ACT, SAT, or CLT.

Welcome! EU is home to numerous students from home educated backgrounds, and you will feel right at home here.

Home educated applicants are evaluated like any other student. As you prepare, here is a transcript template you can use to ensure your work is presented with all the required components necessary for admission consideration.
