At CSM, we base admission on the factors that are important for success. Among those are your grades, class rank, high school or college courses, and in some cases, recommendations from teachers and counselors. We don't use any single criterion for admission, but the most important factor is your academic performance and course work.

We do not require a writing test for admission, but we will accept the new SAT with writing or the ACT with or without the optional writing test.
