Freshman Students
“Presentation is a small campus and everyone here really feels like my family. ”Payton Colestock, Presentation College Sophomore
WE ARE NOW TEST OPTIONAL!
Admission Requirements
High School students must have a GED or high school diploma, and meet one of the following:
- 2.75 GPA on 4.0 scale
- 20 ACT
- 1040 SAT
- 450 minimum GED score
Submit your application, and your transcripts to admit@presentation.edu. We offer rolling admission, so you will be reviewed and given an admissions decision soon! For students who do not meet our minimum requirements, please speak with Admissions at admit@presentation.edu or 605.229.8492
Presentation College does superscore – meaning we take the highest sub score from each test section and calculate a new composite score. We do this for the ACT and the SAT.
Individuals who are 24 years of age or older are not required to take the ACT/SAT for admission. However, an ACT/SAT score may be a requirement for admission to individual programs.
"Coming from a smaller high school in Brandon, SD, there was nothing intimidating about Presentation. I visited campus, and knew it was a really great fit!"
-Morgan Moelter, 2021 Graduate; Bachelors in Biology, Associate in Chemistry
