The educational goal of Mashdots College is to provide maximum
opportunities for educational and personal growth; the student's goals and
objectives are considered first in evaluating applicants for admission.
Consideration will be given to previous formal and informal educational
experience, and to the potential to succeed in an academic program.
Mashdots College seeks students who are creative, motivated,
self-disciplined, and committed to learning. In keeping with the above philosophy, the admission is made with emphasis placed on cumulative GPA, academic course of study, SAT or ACT scores, applicant statements, and personal recommendations. In cases where the applicant falls below a B average and / or below acceptable test scores, the faculty Admissions Committee is consulted. Admissions to the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Armenian Studies require completion of 60 semester or 90 quarter transfer units with at least a "C" average. The College offers lower and upper-division courses in Armenian Studies. Prospective students must apply by May 1 for the fall Semester and by Nov. 1 for the Spring Semester.
