Course variations

Course summary

This program is intended for students whose academic and/or professional interests would not be served by a traditional major in a single discipline. This program is designed to allow students whose academic interests do not fit an existing major to devise, in consultation with an advisor and the Assistant Provost for Academic Affairs, a major that encompasses two or more disciplines. The student must demonstrate that the proposed program has sufficient internal coherence to warrant the term "major". Upon successful completion of the degree program, students will have a well-built foundation not only in general education, but also in two areas of concentrated study.

Entry requirement for international students

First-time students may apply for admission any time after the completion of their junior year in high school. Strong candidates for admission into the baccalaureate program must have a minimum 80 index, according to the Colorado Commission of Higher Education admissions eligibility index. Applicants graduating from high school in 2008 and 2009, must also have completed the Colorado Higher Education Admissions Requirements (HEAR) during high school: Four units of English; Three units of mathematics (Algebra I and higher); Three units of natural/physical science (including two units lab-based science); Three units of social science (including one unit of U.S. or world history); Two units of academic electives. Applicants with an index below 80 and/or who have not completed the HEAR coursework will be considered for conditional admission into the baccalaureate program or for admission into the associate program. Applicants in this situation are strongly encouraged to submit a personal statement and/or letter(s) of recommendation. Note: Adams State College’s role and mission enables the college to admit any qualified student who graduates from a San Luis Valley high school. Applicants who successfully complete the GED with a minimum score of 450 may be considered for admission. A minimum score of 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based) or 79 (internet-based) on the TOEFL exam is considered acceptable. If a student attends an ESL program, successful completion of level 109 is considered acceptable. Students should complete an audition, either in person or on tape.
