GPA of 3.0 or better (calculated using unweighted grades in all subjects taken from 9th–11th grade). 12th grade course grades will be evaluated when made available to U-M and may impact academic eligibility for enrollment. Special note: courses taken pass/fail due to the Covid-19 pandemic will not be counted negatively in our evaluations of academic preparedness.

Two years of foreign language study is strongly recommended. Performing Arts: Credits in music, theatre, and/or dance demonstrating experience and potential ability to succeed in the professional curriculum.
