Huntingdon College

What is the accreditation of Huntingdon College?

Huntingdon College is institutionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, commonly called SACSCOC. Institutional accreditation addresses the college as a whole; it is not an endorsement of every individual program or a promise that another institution will accept every credit.

Accreditation is an important consideration for access to federal student aid and for later applications to other colleges or graduate programs. Students entering a regulated profession should make a separate check of any program-specific approval, state licensing rules, required examinations, and clinical or fieldwork conditions. Those requirements can differ from institutional accreditation.

What are the admission requirements at Huntingdon College?

First-year applicants to Huntingdon College should expect to submit an application and a secondary-school record showing completion of high school or an accepted equivalent. The college requires a high school GPA and school record in its admissions review; it does not have an open-admissions policy.

SAT and ACT scores are considered but are not listed as universally required. Among enrolled first-time students in the reported admissions data, 4% submitted SAT scores and 21% submitted ACT scores. Because those are small, self-selected groups, their scores are not a reliable target for every applicant. Class rank, recommendations, and completion of a college-preparatory program may be considered but are not listed as required.

In the reported entering class, Huntingdon admitted 1,888 of 2,717 first-year applicants, an acceptance rate of about 69%. That describes a past applicant pool, not an individual's likelihood of admission. Applicants whose first language is not English should check the college's current English-proficiency documentation and accepted tests; TOEFL is identified as a requirement in the reported admissions information. Applicants should also check current deadlines and any additional requirements for their intended program.

What are the application fees and waivers at Huntingdon College?

Applicants should check Huntingdon College's current application form for the charge, if any, associated with their particular application route. An application fee is a charge for applying; it is separate from an enrollment deposit, tuition, or an orientation charge.

Anyone for whom an application charge would be a hardship should ask the admissions office about waiver eligibility and the request process before submitting payment. Transfer and first-year applicants should not assume that their forms or charges are identical.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Huntingdon College?

Huntingdon students have a reported Air Force ROTC participation option through a cooperating host institution, rather than an Air Force ROTC unit operated by Huntingdon on its own campus. Cross-enrollment can mean traveling to the host institution for training or classes in addition to completing a Huntingdon degree.

Students interested in commissioning should confirm the current host, course schedule, transportation expectations, and eligibility directly with the ROTC program. ROTC scholarships have separate application and selection processes, and participation or acceptance of certain benefits can carry military service obligations. Applicants interested in Army or Navy ROTC should verify whether a current cross-enrollment arrangement exists rather than assume that access to one branch extends to the others.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Huntingdon College?

Huntingdon College accepts transfer applicants and generally considers college credit from other accredited institutions. Transfer students may enter in the fall, spring, or summer, subject to the college's current admissions calendar.

Applicants should submit official transcripts from every college attended and ask admissions whether a high school record is also needed in their circumstances. Admission to Huntingdon and acceptance of particular courses toward a Huntingdon degree are separate decisions: an accepted course might count as an elective rather than fulfill a major requirement.

The college also reports accepting certain CLEP subject examinations and DSST credit. Students relying on examination credit should obtain a written evaluation showing how each result applies to their intended program. Before committing, transfer applicants should request an official degree audit or transfer-credit evaluation and check the catalog's minimum Huntingdon-credit and major requirements.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Huntingdon College?

Huntingdon College has offered travel-study opportunities as part of its educational programming. The format, destinations, and availability of a trip can vary, so students should distinguish a short faculty-led experience from a semester-long study-abroad program.

Before applying to travel, students should establish whether the experience carries academic credit, how it fits their degree plan, and what costs remain beyond any college support. They should also ask how their financial aid applies, whether travel documents or insurance are required, and who approves courses taken through a partner or third-party provider.
