SAT Scores are optional

This university has a test-optional policy.

For first‑year applicants, ACT or SAT scores are optional and used holistically; applicants may opt out without penalty. Scores are also optional for portfolio‑based programs and considered for scholarship and placement. However, education majors must submit SAT/ACT or Praxis scores by their second year, and international applicants who waive SAT/ACT must provide TOEFL or IELTS results.

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