Federal IPEDS data records this institution as having an open admission policy for its reporting year, meaning it reported admitting all or most applicants who met its eligibility requirements. Individual programs can set separate, selective requirements, and policies change; confirm current requirements for your applicant type and intended program with the institution's admissions office. A campus-wide acceptance rate is not shown because the IPEDS admissions component applies to institutions without an open admission policy, so any imported rate for this campus is withheld as unverified. Open admission is not an individual admission guarantee.
