Home Schooled Students
Seton Hill University offers a special welcome to homeschoolers. The University has found that students with a homeschooling background are often
high achievers. The University's small size makes Seton Hill ideal for you. Personal attention is made possible by the 16:1 student:teacher ratio,
the Tutoring Center, the Writing Lab, and other friendly services.
An admission decision will be issued once the following credentials have been received:
- A completed application form, including an essay, and a $35 non-refundable application fee;
- SAT or ACT scores;
- A letter of recommendation;
- An official high school transcript issued by the school district or agency approving the curriculum, including an official date of graduation , or a GED.
In addition an academic portfolio of work is much appreciated.
