Admissions Requirements

There are no minimum requirements for admission to the Clark Honors College

We do not believe that your past success, and potential future accomplishments, can be embodied in a test score—which is why we conduct a holistic portfolio review for each applicant.

Each application is evaluated to establish its strength with respect to:

  • Creative Potential: Creativity and critical thinking
  • Academic Performance: The extent to which you have challenged yourself by taking diverse and rigorous courses in high school
  • Potential Contribution: The ways in which you have contributed to your family and your community

Our goal is to provide the opportunity for all applicants to present their whole and best selves.
