Admission Requirements for Freshmen
Admission to Towson University is competitive, based on the applicant pool and available space in the freshman class. Priority for admission is based on high school performance in grades 9-11 as demonstrated by the grades earned. Strength and rigor of the curricula are also considered. Many applicants exceed minimum required course work and level of work in their high school curriculum. In some cases, senior mid-year grades are requested and considered in the review of an application. Performance on the SAT I or ACT is also evaluated.
We consider you a freshman if you are currently enrolled in high school or if you are a high school graduate who has never attended college. Your high school transcript must indicate you have completed a college preparatory curriculum in high school, including 4 units of English, 3 units of social sciences, 3 units of science (2 with labs), 3 units of mathematics (Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry), 2 units of a foreign language and 6 elective units.
If you have been living in the United States less than five years and your native language is not English you are required to take the Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) Exam.
