Admission Policies and Procedures



 

The goal of the Office of Admission is to admit students who have the ability to succeed at McMurry. McMurry University prides itself on academic excellence based on a strong faculty and a low faculty to student ratio.

Admission to the university is selective and based on the academic qualifications of the applicant without regard to sex, race, age, handicap, color, religious affiliation, or national origin. McMurry University retains the right to deny admission to any applicant. Admission requirements are subject to change.
