Students must submit separate, official transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended. If you have fewer than 24 semester credits or 36 quarter-units of transferable coursework, an official high school transcript is required.
SAT Scores:

Beginning with students who apply for fall 2020 admission, USF will no longer require students to submit standardized test scores when applying for undergraduate admission.
Letters of Recommendation:

A letter of recommendation helps us get a broader sense of who you are, and where you've been. Choose someone who you know will advocate for you and believe in your future as a college student. It will help their letter be more authentic.
Essay:

In addition to your personal statement, we'll look at your response to our short answer question. How do you see yourself becoming a part of our Jesuit mission?
Application Fee:

There is a non-refundable application fee of $70 - $65 to apply for the Bachelor of Science in Management.
