Admission Requirements
You must first be admitted to the university before your application to the Honors College will be considered. Responses are normally sent to students within three weeks of receiving all application materials. Please review the Honors College admission requirements before applying.
University Admission
Ball State practices rolling admission, which means your application to the university will be reviewed and an admission decision made once all of your credentials are received. Admission to a particular semester may depend on available space and the date of your application. Learn more about applying for admission to Ball State.
