From The School
Le Moyne seeks qualified students who are well-prepared for serious academic study. Secondary school preparation must have included at least 17 college-preparatory high school units, 4 of which must be in English, 4 in social studies, 3-4 in mathematics, 3-4 in foreign language, and 3-4 in science. It is also recommended that prospective science and mathematics majors complete 4 units of mathematics and science. Le Moyne is test optional, which means SAT and/or ACT scores are not required for admission. Campus visits are strongly recommended, as the admission process is a personal one. As bases for selection, academic achievement and secondary school recommendations are of primary importance. Out-of-state students are encouraged to apply.
Le Moyne offers students the opportunity to apply in two ways: early action or regular admission. The early action program is nonbinding and provides high school students the opportunity to receive an early admission decision. Following early action, regular admission applications are reviewed and admission decisions are made on a rolling basis. The priority deadline for applications is February 1; all students who wish to be considered for academic merit scholarships should have a completed application on file in the Office of Admission before this date. Transfer students are encouraged to apply before August 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester. Orientation programs for incoming freshmen take place in June. Transfer student orientation programs are offered throughout the summer.

Students Say
Professors at Le Moyne "ensure that you are actually learning and retaining information, [and] that their course has benefited you in every way." In the classroom, they make "use of real-life scenarios or hands-on examples" to demonstrate their lessons, and "frequently mention that they prefer to have a conversation about the material rather than simply talk at the students." Discussion-based exercises are preferred over straight lectures, and many classes incorporate "unique group projects." Faculty work to "establish incredibly close connections with students," which helps to "truly understand and accommodate" students. Smaller class sizes provide "a more personal experience with their professors and peers," and both teachers and staff are "always willing to meet with you and do their best to help you succeed."
