To be eligible for undergraduate admission at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW), applicants must complete a rigorous high school curriculum, including four units of English, math, science, and social studies. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required, though competitive applicants often exceed this. Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for some programs but may strengthen applications.
Transfer students need at least 24 college credits with a minimum 2.0 GPA. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL (71+), IELTS (6.0+), or equivalent. Additional program-specific requirements may apply for graduate or specialized degrees.
