Entry requirements

University of Mississippi undergraduate admission (applies to the university, not specific to this major): completion of the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) with a minimum cumulative 3.20 GPA on a 4.0 scale for Mississippi residents (other routes combine a lower GPA with ACT/SAT minimums or class rank); admission standards for non-residents are set out in the catalogue's undergraduate admission section.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Students are admitted for Fall and Spring terms, with Winter Intersession and Summer terms also offered.

Applications are made through the University of Mississippi application or the Common Application. Non-resident applicants are admitted on a competitive rolling basis until capacity and are encouraged to apply and submit documents by February 1 of their senior year for priority consideration.

ACT or SAT scores are required for entering freshmen (ACT code 2250, SAT code 1840); for non-resident applicants they are optional with an unweighted GPA of 3.2 or higher and strongly recommended below 3.2.
