ADMISSIONS
Because of the College's diverse and challenging liberal arts
and sciences curriculum, the prospective student must have
substantial preparation in a broad range of academic subjects.
Students graduating from an accredited secondary school with
a strong college preparatory curriculum are best prepared for
the academics at Roanoke . It is highly recommended that, in
preparation for Roanoke , students take a minimum of 18
academic courses, including four in English, two in social
studies, four in a foreign language, and two in lab sciences.
Three courses in mathematics, including two in algebra
(Algebra I and Algebra II) and one in geometry, are required.
Freshmen usually begin their degree programs with the Fall

in January and June.The deadline for admission for the Fall
term is March 15 for freshmen. However, students are urged
to submit their applications prior to the end of the calendar
year. Freshman applications received after March 15 will be
