Minimum requirements to campus change: Students can change to the Columbus campus with a minimum of 30 earned hours (earned after high school graduation) and at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA. This excludes credits earned from testing, e.g., advanced placement (AP) testing or 91µ¼º½ foreign language testing.

Exploration will work with students to assist in identifying a college major program to complete.
