Acceptance to Salve Regina as an education major is considered
provisional acceptance into an education program. Students formally apply to the
education program of their choice during the second semester of their sophomore
year. To gain formal admission, students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.75,
earn a C or better in all education courses and meet all testing requirements.
Transfer students must meet the same formal admission
requirements as students who enter Salve Regina in their freshman year. Grades
for all courses taken at prior institutions (not just those accepted by Salve
Regina) count toward a transfer student's overall GPA in calculating the 2.75 admission
requirement.
