To enroll as a freshman in any of the programs of study at MSU, a student, during grades 9-12, must have satisfactorily completed, at minimum, the number of units as shown in the Policies and By Laws as set forth by the Board of Trustees, Institutions of Higher Learning State of Mississippi at their website.  \nFull admission to Mississippi State University for Mississippi residents will be granted to high school graduates who complete the required high school courses with one of the following:  \n􀂌 A minimum 3.20 grade-point average; or,  \n􀂌 A minimum 2.50 grade-point average or standing in the top 50 percent of the class and a composite score of 16 or higher on the ACT or the equivalent SAT score; or,  \n􀂌 A minimum 2.0 grade-point average and a composite score of 18 or higher on the ACT or the equivalent SAT score; or  \n􀂌 Satisfy the National Collegiate Athletic Association standards for student athletes who are “full qualifiers” or “academic redshirts” under Division I guidelines.  \nFull admission to Mississippi State University for nonresidents of Mississippi will be granted to high school graduates who complete the required high school courses with oneof the following:  \n􀂌 A minimum 2.50 grade-point average and a composite score of 20 or higher on the ACT, or the equivalent SAT score; or  \n􀂌 Student-athletes who satisfy the National Collegiate Athletic Association standards and who are “full qualifiers” or “academic redshirts” under Division I guidelines are exempt from the above requirement.  \n2. Contingent Admission. Applicants who are Mississippi residents and fail to meet the full admission standards may, as a result of a review, be admitted. The review will be conducted by an admissions committee, who will consider the student’s high school performance, ACT/SAT scores, placement testing, and special interests and skills.  \nA student athlete must meet the requirements of the Southeastern Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) .  \n3. Special Program for Academically Talented Students (SPATS) . Academically talented students in high school who have a standard composite minimum score of 24 on the ACTor equivalent SAT score, may apply for admission as a SPATS student to earn regular college credit.  \nSPATS students may take courses during the spring, summer, or fall term.
