  • Entering freshman: a high school graduate who has not attended a college or university prior to admission to ESU and the department.
  • External transfer: a student enrolled or having been enrolled in a college or university other than ESU prior to admission to ESU and the department.
  • Internal transfer:  a student enrolled at ESU either as a declared major in another department, as an undeclared major, or as a non matriculated ESU student prior to admission to the department.
    •
    Entering freshman: the department shall adhere to the university-wide policy on entrance requirements. If a student in this category meets entrance requirements for the university as a whole, he/she shall meet requirements for entrance into the department as a major. Entering freshmen shall be approved by the Director of Admissions.

    External transfer: The Director of Admissions shall review external transfer applications and shall admit a number of applicants consistent with the University's policy on enrollment ceilings. External transfers shall be approved after March 1 of each year on a best qualified basis following satisfactory completion of entrance requirements for the University. The department requires that transfer applicants have a minimum QPA of 2.25 if transferring 62 credits or more.

    Internal transfer: the department requires that internal transfer applicants meet the following minimum overall cumulative Q.P.A. according to credits completed at ESU and other institutions:
