Whitefield College is specifically designed to provide quality Christian education. Whitefield admits students of any sex, race, color, or nationality, however, Whitefield College reserves the right to deny admission to any student for any reason it deems adequate. The only condition upon students other than the requirements listed below is their interest in the type of education offered. Entrance into the Whitefield College program is a privilege, not a right.

Admission to Whitefield College is available to those who have:

1. Graduated from high school (home school, Christian, or public), and achieved at least a 2.5 GPA on a four point scale, or passed the GED. Students outside the USA must provide evidence of equivalent academic attainment.
2. Achieved minimum scores of 19 on the ACT or 890 on the SAT, if they have been taken. Although the ACT and SAT examinations are not required for admission, we do encourage students to take these examinations as they provide an objective evaluation of present skills and academic ability. The above minimum scores should give students confidence that they are suited for Whitefield College, and can handle the academic load.
3. Fluency in reading, writing and speaking the English language.
4. Provided a favorable recommendation from a minister, pastor, or church elder.
5. Submitted an Application for Admission along with the $35 application fee.

Students who do not fully meet the academic requirements for admission may be considered. Such students should send written details of their education, indicating why they expect success with Whitefield’s curriculum.

Procedure For Admission:

1. Complete the Application for Admission, and Student Disclosure forms included with the catalog. Send it along with two recent passport style photographs and a nonrefundable application fee of $35.00.
2. Have a high school transcript and any prior post-secondary transcripts forwarded to the Admissions Office. If home schooled students do not have a transcript, a parental letter describing educational background and skills will suffice.
3. Have any SAT or ACT scores sent to Whitefield College as soon as possible, or include them on the high school transcript. Course work with Whitefield College may begin prior to the receipt of SAT or ACT scores.
4. If possible, include with your Application two or more sealed letters of recommendation–one from the pastor, youth pastor, or session/consistory of your church, and another from someone other than a family member. One additional letter from someone well acquainted with you would also be appreciated. Our aim is to learn as much as we can about your character, morals, manners, habits, and academic achievements.

Students not meeting the academic admission requirements may be asked to take remedial courses to bring them up to college study levels. Remedial courses will not be counted as credit toward a degree program.

Upon receipt, your application will be evaluated, and our decision will be mailed to you within two weeks. Assuming you are accepted, we will also send the first Course Request Form. All students intending to graduate in 6.5 years or less must order the first two courses together.

Transfer Students

Whitefield College has a unique, specially developed, and targeted program, and is, therefore, limited in the number of credit hours that may be transferred. Transfer students must provide full transcripts, and complete at least 30 credit hours at Whitefield College to be granted a degree.
