Average Academic Profile

At Covenant, we are a community of like-minded believers who desire to prepare for lives of servant-leadership in any number of pathways of God's calling. To that end, we admit students who profess faith in Jesus Christ and who we think will do well in our rigorous academic program. A written personal testimony is one component of the admissions process.

Covenant College offers students an academically rigorous liberal arts education, equipping them to explore and express the preeminence of Jesus Christ in all things. Consistent with this mission, freshmen in the 25th to 75th percentile range have the following academic record from high school:

  • unweighted GPA: 3.44 - 3.89
  • CLT composite: 81 - 96
  • ACT composite: 24 - 30; or
  • SAT (math + evidence-based reading & writing): 1130 - 1350

Your high school curriculum should include at least 16 units, with each unit representing one year of satisfactory work in a particular subject. We recommend that your units be distributed as follows:

  • English: 4 units
  • Math: 3 units
  • History or Social Studies: 2 units
  • Natural Science: 2 units
  • Foreign Language: 2 units of the same language
  • Electives: 3 or 4 units

While this is the average academic profile that characterizes our student body, potential applicants should keep in mind that we consider every application on an individual basis. Transfer applicants are considered in light of this academic profile, as well as academic performance in any college-level coursework. Anyone interested in a Covenant College education should apply.
