To be eligible for undergraduate admission at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), applicants must have a high school diploma or GED. A minimum high school GPA of 2.0 is required, though some programs may demand higher standards. Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for most programs but may strengthen an application.
Transfer students need at least 24 semester hours of college credit with a 2.0 GPA. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL (61 iBT), IELTS (6.0), or equivalent. Graduate programs have varying criteria, including a bachelor’s degree and minimum GPA, often 2.75 or higher, depending on the department.
