Christian Brothers University
Christian Brothers University is a four-year, private co-ed university affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. While large enough to provide educational opportunities in the arts, business, education, engineering and sciences, the University is small enough to promote teaching as ministry and to provide challenging student-centered learning and personal growth. Students of diverse cultures and religious traditions are encouraged to grow in their own faith.

Application information
First-year
Domestic first year students may apply without a fee to Christian Brothers University and, though prompt application is recommended, students may apply at any time for the following fall or spring term. Although CBU's admission process is generally test-optional, the following majors require a minimum math ACT score of 22 or the equivalent SAT math score of 540: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biochemistry, and Natural Science Education.
Transfer
Although CBU does not require an application fee, we do ask that fall transfers apply by July 31 in order to process transcripts and course transferability.
