Graduate Admission Categories
Degree Admission Status– regular, limited, or provisional
Limited Admission Status (non degree-seeking categories) – post baccalaureate, teacher certification, transient, certificate, or undeclared
Admission must be recommended by the graduate area of study in which the student proposes to study.
Admission Requirements for Degree Applicants
Degree applicants are required to meet all admission requirements for the School of Graduate Studies. In general, admission requirements include a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally-accredited institution, a specified minimum overall grade point average for the baccalaureate degree, and a satisfactory score on the program admission test. Currently accepted admission tests include the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Students who have taken the GRE should note scores older than five years will not be accepted as established by the Educational Testing Service.
Degree–Regular Admission Category
A student who is admitted in the degree-regular admission category meets all of the requirements for unqualified admission. Applicants may be required to meet additional program-specific requirements as outlined in the section Summary of Requirements for Degree Admission (Regular and Provisional).
Degree–Provisional Admission Category
A student who is admitted in the degree-provisional admission category does not satisfy the conditions for degree-regular admission. The School of Graduate Studies will establish conditions for provisional admission at the time of admission based on the recommendation of the graduate program in which the student proposes to study. Students may be reclassified with regular admission providing they have taken at least one graduate level AASU course, approved by their advisor, and completed the course with a grade of no less than B unless otherwise stipulated by the academic unit. The majority of degree programs require a minimum of three graduate classes, totaling nine graduate semester hours, before reclassification. Each academic unit may require that specific courses must be completed prior to a student’s reclassification. A student may take no more than nine semester hours which have been determined by the program advisor. Because there is the requirement to carry seventeen hours the first semester of the physical therapy program of study, all provisional graduate students in physical therapy will be allowed to take seventeen hours of graduate credit of approved courses.
Degree–Limited Admission Category (make a link to Limited admission below)
A student who is admitted in the degree-limited category does not meet all of the requirements for either degree-provisional or degree-regular admission. A limited admission student may apply to a degree program at any time. Upon the academic advisor's recommendation, a maximum of six graduate semester hours of credit may be included in a program of study, provided the student has gained reclassification as a degree-seeking student. Degree-limited students are only allowed to take a total of six graduate semester hours. In order to continue after six hours, the student must have met the requirements for provisional or regular admission to the program. The student will not be allowed to continue in the program of study unless all conditions have been satisfactorily completed.

Armstrong Atlantic has been called a private college experience with a public college price tag. Armstrong’s out-of-state tuition might surprise you: it may cost less than paying in-state tuition at home.
Armstrong also offers special tuition programs for residents of Beaufort and Jasper counties in South Carolina that let you attend at the in-state tuition rate.

Admission

Students at Armstrong develop both academic skills and life skills…but don’t take our word…listen to our current students. Here are five things current students said they would tell people about AASU:

1. "It’s comfortable here. It was easy to make the transition from high school to college."
2. "Beach is great. Savannah is great."
3. "Some people will tell you that college professors don’t care if you pass or fail. That’s not true here (they want you to succeed)."
4. "We are national tennis champions (two years in a row!)"
5. "When you get here you don’t want to leave."
