Martin Methodist College offers an educational opportunity to men and women who have exhibited a reasonable degree of academic ability as evidenced by their high school grades and their scores on the ACT or SAT exams. Martin Methodist College is an equal opportunity educational institution and does not discriminate in its admission policy on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, national origin, or handicap. The Office of Admissions and Enrollment Management is responsible for administering admission policies.
Prospective students are encouraged to visit the campus and meet with an admissions counselor. Campus visits and interviews may be scheduled Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Saturdays. To arrange an appointment, call the admissions office at 1-800-467-1273 or 931-363-9868, (fax 931-363-9803). You may e-mail the office at admit@martinmethodist.edu or visit the college web site at www.martinmethodist.edu.
Students may be considered for admission to Martin Methodist College at the beginning of any academic term. Prospective students are encouraged to apply as early as possible after completion of the junior year of high school and pay a $30.00 application fee. Persons who have not graduated from high school may be considered upon successful completion of the high school level GED tests.
For admission to Martin Methodist College, students must fulfill at least two of the following requirements:
1. a composite score of 18 or above on the ACT or 750 or above on the SAT,
2. at least a 2.0 high school grade point average, or
3. rank in the top 50th percentile of their graduating class.
Students who do not meet two of the previously stated requirements may be offered admission to the college by the Vice President for Academic Affairs if special circumstances exist. These students may be required to take a reduced class load during their first semester of attendance. Such students also may be subjected to placement
testing, and required to take appropriate coursework to overcome any apparent deficiencies.
Students who have studied at another regionally-accredited college or university are welcome to apply for transfer to Martin Methodist College. A transfer student must meet the same academic requirements expected of students who began their college careers at Martin Methodist College. Additionally, the student must be eligible to return to the last college or university attended. An official transcript of all previous college work must be submitted, and a high school transcript may be required. Transcripts will be evaluated on an individual basis and recognized courses taken at another college or university may be credited toward graduation. During the first semester of attendance, transfer students will be notified by letter of the courses accepted for transfer. Martin Methodist College does not transfer grades of “D” or lower except when a student has graduated with an Associate or Bachelor’s degree with an overall GPA of 2.0 or above.
