Nazareth College Admissions Overview:

With an acceptance rate of 72%, Nazareth College's admissions are not highly competitive. To apply, students will need to submit an application, along with official high school transcripts and letters of recommendation. Nazareth is test-optional, so applicants are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores. The school accepts the Common Application (more on that below), which can save applicants time and energy when applying to several schools that use that application.
