Admission Requirements
Through its Regional Campuses, the University of La Verne provides educational opportunities for mature adults with varied educational backgrounds. Applicants will be considered for admission based on the following criteria:
- Number of college-level semester hours completed
- Cumulative GPA
- Work Experience
The Bachelor of Science in Public Administration degree program is designed for mature working professionals over the age of 23 with or without college experience. These programs utilize and value the experience students have obtained from the workplace. Because of this expectation, applicants under the age of 23 are considered for admission only if they possess substantial work experience and a cumulative GPA of 2.2 for any transferable college or university course work. Students who have not already completed the equivalent of Eng 110, College Writing A (Eng 101 at Allan Hancock College), must complete this course within the first two terms of enrollment at ULV.

"These teachers are amazing. They're willing to help make your vision and goals come true, whether it be here as a vocational training program or transferring to a four year university. There are so many great things about the fashion program. You're able to express yourself here. Allan Hancock College is where I started. I'm in a four-year university now but I know that without Allan Hancock College I wouldn't have gotten there."
