Policies that can change your plan
The 3.0 minimum is the prerequisite math/science GPA, not the all-science CASPA GPA. The program publishes no blanket minimum grade; a pass/satisfactory grade requires evidence of C or better and may still be declined. At most three prerequisites may be outstanding at application, and at most two of them math/science. Courses must be from U.S.-accredited institutions.
Dates & application steps
The August 1, 2026 CASPA verified deadline has passed. The program states an annual August 1 deadline but has not announced the next cycle's date.
This is the expected start of the entering class.
