Admissions Criteria
- We seek
students with demonstrated talent in science and mathematics
as well as a sincere desire to teach. Students may demonstrate
these characteristics in a number of ways - through
their academic record, through performance on SATs,
through the rigor of their high school curriculum (Advanced
Placement courses, honors courses), through independent
research, through complementary coursework (in College
Now or university summer programs), or through other
outside activities (tutoring or mentoring). The minimum
requirement is an 85 College Admissions Average, strong
SAT scores, and a college preparatory program in science
and mathematics.
- Students seeking
to teach mathematics should be prepared to enter calculus
in their first year.
