C.C.H.E. Higher Education Admission Requirements for Incoming Freshmen

To help ensure the academic success of college-bound students, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (C.C.H.E.) added a pre-collegiate curriculum requirement to its Admissions Standards Policy in October, 2003. Beginning with the graduating high school class of 2008, freshmen planning to attend Colorado public four-year colleges and universities should complete certain core course requirements for admission into baccalaureate programs.

Students seeking two-year degrees and those attending community colleges are not subject to these requirements.

Accurate, up-to-date information on this Higher Education Admission Requirements (H.E.A.R.) Program can be obtained from the C.C.H.E. website. The Guide to Courses helps in ascertaining acceptable core classes.

H.E.A.R. Program Details

Incoming first-time freshmen and those with less than 30 college credits should meet certain academic course requirements (listed below) for acceptance into four-year programs. A unit is equal to one full year of credit (Carnegie unit). Students need a passing grade in each course. Students may have the option of testing out of some of the requirements (See C.C.H.E. site).

English (two units must include writing, grammar or comp)	4
Mathematics (Algebra I level and higher)	4
Natural/Physical Sciences (two units must be lab-based)	3
Social Sciences (at least one unit of U.S. or world history)	3
Foreign Language (must be same language)	1
Academic Electives	2
Total:	17

Other Options For Students

A student may attend a community college and then transfer to a four-year institution. Colorado Mesa University offers both two and four year programs, so a student initially may apply for an Associate's degree at CMU. Students then need to take one college-level course in each academic core area - English, Mathematics, Natural/Physical Science, Social Science (and Foreign Language 2010 and after) - and receive a grade of at least C- in every course. (Students with more than 30 college credits and a g.p.a. of 2.3 or higher may apply for a Bachelor degree program at Colorado Mesa University without meeting H.E.A.R.)
