Undergraduate Applicants

Whether you’re an incoming freshman or transferring from another undergraduate college program, pursuing a degree at Fontbonne begins by applying.

Are you Degree Seeking or Non-Degree Seeking? 

Degree-seeking students  (Freshman,  Transfer, Certificate Seeking, etc.,)  will select a major and work towards a bachelor’s degree. If you start as undecided or undeclared,  you are still considered degree-seeking. 

Non-degree-seeking students (Visiting, Dual High School, Senior Citizen scholar, etc.) just want to earn some undergraduate credit through on-campus or online classes. No financial aid is available for a non-degree seeking student.

Graduate Applicants

Pursue education beyond your bachelor’s degree by applying to one of our professionally oriented and academically rigorous graduate programs.

For admission to Graduate Studies, an applicant must have: 

  • Earned at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a college or university recognized by a regional accrediting agency. Colleges and universities from outside the United States must be recognized as degree-granting institutions by their country’s Ministry of Education
  • Earned a 2.5 or better grade point average in the baccalaureate degree (keep in mind, this is the minimum GPA to apply to graduate school, but program specific grade point averages for consideration may vary)
  • An acceptable English proficiency test score (non-native English speaking applicants only). Please see the International Applicant Instructions page for the Graduate School English Language Proficiency Policy

Please note that academic programs often have admission requirements beyond these general requirements. For more information on minimum admission requirements, please click here.

The Fontbonne graduate application process is a two-step process. Applicants must complete the Graduate School application as well as complete the application requirements of the academic program. The academic program requirements and deadlines are built into the application. If you have questions about materials or deadlines, please consult the Office of Admission. 

Applicants applying to an academic program that differs from their original application should submit a new personal statement for the program in which they are applying as well as meet all academic program admission material requirements.

You’re a  degree-seeking student  if you want to select a major and work towards a Master’s, Educational Doctorate degree or Certificate program. 

You’re a  non-degree-seeking student  if you just want to earn some graduate credit through on-campus or online classes. No financial aid is available as a non-degree seeking student.
