FAQs about Reichman University
Application Process and Admissions Requirements
The programs do not require, but scores can sometimes help individuals in quantitative subjects, because they provide further indication.
Each school has its own admissions requirements. Normally on the average a “B” average and above is required. For quantitative subjects, advanced math is required. It is not possible to give one general idea. For example, for government or communications a solid “B” average works. For psychology it is preferred to have studied biology. For computer sciences one must have done advanced calculus and must pass a summer mechina, etc. For business, economics, entrepreneurship one must be strong in math, and grades such as an “A” in math will help the individual get accepted.
