<p>RTRMom2 - For the J-School at Mizzou admission requirements as an incoming Freshman are as follows. I suggest researching admissions if she doesn’t meet the requirements because she would then have to apply in her second semeter sophomore year.</p>
<p>We visited the J-School and I was very impressed with their program. Good luck to your D! </p>
<p>[Undergraduate</a> Admissions - Missouri School of Journalism](<a href=“http://journalism.missouri.edu/admissions/undergraduate/]Undergraduate”>Undergraduate – Missouri School of Journalism)</p>
<p>1.Directly Admitted Students. A freshman applicant will be directly admitted to the School of Journalism if he or she meets standard MU admissions requirements and any one of the following three criteria: ◦Ranks in the top 10 percent of his or her high school class.
◦Scores 29 or higher on the ACT Composite.
◦Scores 1290 or higher on the math-verbal portions of the SAT. Note: The University of Missouri does not use the relatively new SAT or ACT essay examinations in its admissions process.</p>
<p>2.Pre-Journalism A&S Students. Students accepted by MU who do not meet one of the criteria for direct admission are admitted as pre-journalism students in the College of Arts and Science. Pre-journalism students apply for admission to the School of Journalism as they complete the fourth journalism course, which is either JOURN 2000, Cross-Cultural Journalism, JOURN 2100, News, or JOURN 2150 Multimedia Reporting. That usually occurs in the second semester of the sophomore year as the student is completing 60 credits and all other requirements.</p>
