Admissions Assessment - Undergraduate

During the admissions process, ECPI University utilizes various standardized assessment tools to determine an applicant’s preparedness to undertake college-level coursework. The type of assessment is dependent upon the applicant’s program of interest. Applicants who have completed standardized military tests or who have certain previous college experience, may provide documentation in lieu of the admissions assessment.

Applicants to most programs, excluding health science and the B.S. Cyber and Information Security Technology (Degree Completion) programs, who have completed the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) with a combined arithmetic reasoning and paragraph comprehension (ARPC) score of 100 or greater; 50 or greater for Air Force GT or General (G); who have a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution; or who have earned an associate’s degree from ECPI, may provide official/certified test scores or official transcripts in lieu of the general ECPI admissions assessment.

Test scores and transcripts identified as “issued to student” are not acceptable. Scores from ACT and SAT, other standardized exams, or undergraduate coursework may be considered in the admissions process; however, these do not substitute for the ECPI administered admissions assessments.

Regarding non-immigrant applicants, the standardized assessment tools do not test English language proficiency but rather test the applicant’s readiness for postsecondary-level English writing and literature courses (see English Language Proficiency Policy for additional admissions requirements concerning required skill and ability in the English language).

The Admissions Advisor has additional information regarding the assessments and the necessary scores for admissions.
