High School Students

Will you do well here? You will if you’ve had a strong college preparatory curriculum in high school, rank in the top half of your class, and have better than average test scores.  But, as MC student Helen Auer observed, “You’re not just a number here. You are not just your GPA.”  The Maryville admissions process looks at more than academic credentials. We look at the whole person and take into account extra-curricular and co-curricular involvement and activities, as well as personal achievement.  That said, the basic coursework required to be considered for admission to MC is:

  • Four years of English
  • Two or more years of one foreign language
  • Three or more years of math (Algebra I and higher)
  • Two or more years of lab science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.)
  • Two or more years of social science or history

Use this Checklist to assure your application is complete:

  • Complete our Application for Admission. Apply online, or download and mail your application.
  • Have your official high school (with senior year courses) and/or college transcripts sent to Maryville College.
  • High School students must submit an official ACT or SAT test score (Maryville's test codes are SAT: 1454, ACT: 3988)
  • One Core Subject Instructor Recommendation (Optional)
