Freshman Admission Requirements

The following guidelines list the minimum requirements to be considered for admission to the CBA. The college reserves the right to adjust admissions criteria based on space availability. Beginning freshmen are defined as students who have earned less than 36 semester hours (54 quarter hours) of credit at another collegiate institution. Students must meet the requirements specified for beginning freshmen in the current literature published by the  UIC Office of Admissions.


CBA Recommendations:

  • High school ranking and ACT composite scores are used to determine UIC admissions eligibility. Typically a student in the top 20 percent of his or her high school class with an ACT composite score in the mid-20s is eligible for admission to the CBA.

  • Complete four years of high school mathematics.

  • Complete two years of a foreign language with minimum grades of C.
