  • 2024-05-01: This policy was updated to reflect that English composition, 26 credit hours, and a College and major GPA of 2.000 or higher is no longer required for most students to enter the College. It also clarifies that students seeking to complete second degrees and those who have been dismissed from an IUB school must follow special procedures to be considered for entrance to the College.
