SAT Scores are required for some programs

This university requires SAT Scores for some programs.

Direct admission for applicants with a U.S. High School Diploma is subject to national German (Anabin/KMK) regulations. As the diploma itself is not considered equivalent to the German Abitur, additional qualifications are needed. A high SAT score is one of the primary methods, alongside specific academic coursework, to meet the requirements for direct admission, making it a necessary credential for students pursuing this pathway.

Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
