University of Alabama New Admission Requirements Year 2019

Decisions about the potential for your academic success at UA are based on your performance on the ACT and/or SAT, your high-school grade point average, and your high-school course schedule. (For example: A student with a 21 ACT or 1000 old SAT [critical reading and math scores only] or a 1060 new SAT [evidence-based reading and writing plus math, 1600 scale] along with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 should be successful at the University.)

In terms of educational preparation, the college preparatory curriculum minimum unit requirements for regular admissions are

• 4 units of English
• 4 units of social sciences, including world history or a comparable course (second foreign language will satisfy one of the four required social science requirements)
• 3 units of mathematics (must include algebra I, algebra II, and one unit of either geometry, trigonometry, or calculus)
• 3 units of natural sciences, including two courses with lab components
• 1 unit of foreign language
• 5 additional units of academic courses (We recommend courses in fine arts or computer literacy, with additional courses in mathematics, natural sciences, and foreign language.)
