Valparaiso University requires applicants to meet specific eligibility criteria for admission. Prospective undergraduate students must have a high school diploma or equivalent, with a recommended college-prep curriculum. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is preferred, though some programs may require higher standards.
Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for most programs but may strengthen an application. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo scores. Graduate programs have varying requirements, including a bachelor’s degree, minimum GPA, and program-specific prerequisites. Some departments may request letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, or relevant work experience.
