Admissions Criteria

Statler College admission is based on high school grade point average and math placement. Students must also meet all other WVU admission requirements. Once admitted, students work with their academic advisor to create their degree plan and semester schedules based on initial math placement and specific degree requirements. Each degree plan is tailored to the level of academic preparation of the student to maximize the opportunity for success while meeting the requirements of their intended major. 

We encourage you to talk with our recruitment team or schedule a visit or attend an event to learn more.
