Requirements/Admissions
The College seeks students who will respond to such an opportunity and who will bring to this community a variety of interests and personal characteristics. Academic competence is a major consideration in the selection of students, but also important are an individual's personal qualities which may add to the diversity of the student body.
Many factors are taken into consideration in the selection of a freshman class, and each candidate is viewed on an individual basis. The strength of a student's secondary preparation is an excellent measure of a student's readiness for college. Of value also are personal qualities, such as maturity, intellectual awareness, and motivation toward learning. In addition to school records and personal attributes, aptitude and achievement test scores can be helpful in predicting college performance and are considered with other credentials in the application for admission to Morehouse.
A student's secondary school preparation should include four (4) units in English, (3) units in Mathematics, two (2) units in Natural Sciences, and two (2) units in Social Sciences. Two (2) units of Foreign Language are also recommended to be included in preparation for entering students. Additional study should be pursued in academic subjects according to individual interests. Students who present strong academic records with a "B" or better average (85 or better on 100 point scale) and test scores of at least 1500 on the SAT or 22 on the ACT have the best chance for admission to Morehouse.
