Meredith seeks to enroll students who will benefit from the total educational program of the College. Each applicant is evaluated carefully on the basis of academic preparation, scholastic ability, character, purpose, and motivation. Admission is competitive and offered to qualified women applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, or age.
Meredith College admits students as candidates for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Social Work.
The College welcomes direct-from-high-school students, transfer students from community colleges or other four-year institutions, and adult women over the age of 23 who have not enrolled in college since graduating from high school or earning a general education equivalency. Adult women over the age of 23 enter through Meredith’s Wings Program.
Applicants may be admitted as new first-year students, transfer students from other colleges, students seeking a second baccalaureate degree, or as re-admitted students. The College also welcomes non-degree students to its credit classes.
First-year applicants may be admitted for entrance to the fall and spring semesters, which begin in August and January. Transfer applicants, applicants seeking a second baccalaureate degree, and applicants for readmission may be admitted for entrance in the fall, spring, or summer terms.
Meredith College is a residential campus. New first-year students and transfer students with freshman or sophomore classifications will apply as residential students. Requests to reside off-campus must meet the commuter criteria and be approved by the Dean of Students. The College also enrolls adult women age 23 and older as commuting students, and by exception, as campus residents.
