To be eligible for admission to Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU), applicants must meet specific academic and documentation requirements. High school graduates need a diploma or GED, with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Transfer students require a cumulative GPA of 2.0 from accredited institutions.
International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL (61 iBT), IELTS (5.5), or Duolingo (95). Additional requirements include official transcripts and financial documentation. Some programs may have higher GPA or prerequisite standards. SMSU also considers ACT/SAT scores for placement but does not require them for admission.
