The admissions process consists of a holistic review of every student’s application. Many factors are considered in the selection of an applicant, including a properly completed application, and official academic records. Blackburn is test-optional. In addition to these components, we value extracurricular and co-curricular activities (e.g. music ensembles, athletics, theatre), community service, character and personal qualities. Academic preparation as demonstrated through yearly improvement through your high school or college career will also be considered when evaluating an applicant’s file. All factors weigh in with regard to admissions decisions in order for us to evaluate the complete student.

Blackburn accepts coursework from all regionally accredited institutions, including almost all community colleges and four-year colleges and universities. Students may transfer up to 92 semester hours, with the final 30 semester hours for graduation taken at Blackburn.
