“Unleash your Inner Husky” at BU! BU is one of 14 public universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and prepares students to become leaders.

As the largest comprehensive university in Northeastern and Northcentral Pennsylvania, BU offers 54 undergraduate majors, 44 undergraduate minors and 20 graduate programs, along with the experiences and technology to give students the best possible preparation for careers in their field.

Many financial aid programs are available to BU students. Undergraduate, graduate, part-time and transfer students from every income bracket may be eligible for some type of financial aid — student employment, grants, scholarships or low-interest loans. BU receives nearly 12,000 applications for admission each year. The admissions staff evaluates every application when received and responds within four to six weeks.

Students who want to play intercollegiate sports at BU must register with the NCAA Eligibility center. In order to compete as a freshman, a student must be certified as a qualifier and have their amateurism certified. Students can begin registering with the EC after their sophomore year in high school.

While there are no fixed criteria for acceptance, a typical incoming BU student has SATs of 1070 (critical reading and math sections only) or an ACT of 23, has graduated in the top 25 percent of high school class with a high B average, and most likely took a high school college prep program of study

BU does not require an essay or references with an application and will accept both the “old” and “new” SAT testing scores.
